Holistic Way to Quit Smoking and to Clear Lungs after Quitting
I smoked for twenty-five years, both cigarettes and marijuana. I started when I was sixteen and I am now forty-one. I stopped both of them two weeks ago. Cigarettes are much harder of the two to quit. But this is not the first time I attempted to quit. The last time I attempted to quit was three years ago. I used Nicorette gums but only used them when I had a craving. Within one week, I noticed my breathing was better at night, less congestion. I was dreaming a lot at night and getting better sleep. I started to work out with weights, twenty pound barbells to begin with. After three weeks of quitting I took up jogging whenever I had a craving. I was a slow jogger, but I didn’t care about all those avid joggers that never smoked and passed me on the jogging path. I kept up with the weights and eventually increased them to thirty-five pound barbells. I continued with the jogging. Within one month my muscles were ripped and my breathing so much better, and my lungs were clearing out. My overall stress levels were decreasing. Yes cigarettes are the cause of most of your stress people. They do not help with the stress that is just the addiction making you think that the cigarette is helping with your stress. Once my body started to take on muscularity and with the combination of weight lifting and cardiovascular workouts, I no longer had stress. I was happier at work, and people noticed the difference. I was sure I had quit for good. Then the snowy winter came along, I live in Canada, and I found that I had nowhere to run anymore. I started to give up on the weights, because I couldn’t use it in combination with the jogging. I started going to friends and relatives a lot during weekends and they all smoked. Eventually I became a smoker again. It is now summer again, and I have once again kicked the habit, because I remembered how good it felt when I had quit three years ago. I am reminded of all the negative things about smoking, bad breath, dry mouth, constant spitting, congestion, bronchitis, stress, tiredness, lack of energy, smelly clothes and apartment, having a monkey on my back, the expense of buying cigarettes takes away from all those other good things you could have bought with the money, friends and relatives dying too young from cancer etc. I should also mention that my chances of getting dates with women who don’t smoke,that’s right the healthy, sexy ones, was no chance. There are many more negatives, so many I would not have enough characters in this comment to write them all down. Please write all the negatives down on paper and add to them as you think of them. Hang the paper on the fridge and read the negatives when you have a craving. It will help. Bottom line, it is not worth it everyone. It was not cool when you started at the age of sixteen and it is not cool now. The people who do not smoke are the cool ones. Because they are happier and richer than you are. I plan to quit now for good and take up a winter sport to help me when winter arrives. A friend’s mother got cancer last year and she quit as soon as she was diagnosed. Her first message was that she didn’t realize how easy it was to quit, and that it was harder to quit the habit than the addiction. But her diagnosis with cancer caused her to quit immediately, scared straight so they say. Unfortunately for her, it was too late for her and she died of cancer. Let that be a message to everyone who smokes, you can quit as easily as she did. Don’t wait until it is too late. I wish everyone the best with their quitting endeavors. And remember, you have to quit quitting, quit once and make that be the last time.
