I began smoking when I was 3, and smoked until I was 34. Then I went into the New Year's Eve this year … I just quit cold turkey, because I thought that I was … but I do not want. I like to smoke really. Among the other people who do not like it.
I thought I was going to join the military, so I quit smoking because you are not allowed to smoke in boot camp. Well, I found out I can’t get in the military because I am color blind.
I’m not to worried about smoking’s damage to my health. I can still run a mile under 6 minutes and my genetics are pretty good. My grandfather started smoking at age 5 and he dies of emphysema from smoking… but, that was when he was 95 – it took smoking 90 years to kill him.
At age 3, my mother gave me a cigarette and i started regular pack a day at 12 years old. My mother is a pot head and she didn’t know any better.
Here’s my dilemma. I enjoy smoking and I’ve been doing it for 30 years. Its easy for me to quit because I understand why people smoke and why they quit. Most people can’t quit because they think its hard… but its actually easy. People only think its hard because that is what people said. In actuality all you have to do to stop smoking is stop smoking. It requires no physical effort… You do nothing!
I figure I made it 3 months with no smoking maybe i should just continue. But i will always miss smoking. I also like to drink alcohol and get drunk but i never got addicted to that. I haven’t had a beer in over a year.
What do you guys think i should do. I like smoking and drinking but i don’t do them anymore because everyone else seems to not like them. I always cared about what other people think – but now i miss out on the enjoyable things in life.
What should I do?
You almost have a point. Smoking does lung damage. But my mile times have went up since i quit. I am actually an avid runner. I compete in bodybuilding. I smoke maybe 5 a day… sometimes none. I’ve gone days and weeks before without smoking but I never attempted to quit. This time was an accident.
Quit smoking by accident…I think that is the best accident that I’ve ever heard of. I smoked for 30 years and had no problems either, until last year. I can tell you that after eleven months of not smoking, my outlook on smoking has changed considerably from the third month; I’ll never smoke again. I was just banded two days ago and what a reward it was to not have had smoking related coughing in recovery.
Whatever you decide, I want you'll never have to suffer long-term harm from smoking.
