A warning, if ever there was one!!....................

[louise_a]

Thanks guys, but I've literally gone "Cold Turkey" and am determined to see this through.
My big sister has warned me that if she ever sees me with a cigarette in my hand she is going to punch me in the head
????
And I'm going to avoid vaping as well
Nothing, other than fresh air is ever entering my lungs again.

I stopped cold turkey, it wasnt too bad, I just ate a lot more chocolate

Bloody hell Rob! Glad it wasnt Anything more serious. All the best with giving up and sticking to it.

Hospital rang today, follow up appointment with the respiratory department tomorrow morning at 9.
Still no bleeding, still not smoking ???

Why do they put the respiratory department down two flights of stairs???
?????

To gauge whether stopping smoking is starting to pay off

I've noticed I'm breathing a lot better Chris, especially through my hooter. It used to feel permanently blocked, but it's as clear as a bell now.
Still feeling shattered, but improving, so thinking about going back to work on Saturday.

My mum smoked all her life, gave up on her 60th birthday. She noticed benefits immediately and they were long lasting.

Keep it up

Personally I would give it another week before returning to work. The still feeling shattered bit tells me that. ?

Just read this smiffy, well done on the non smoking mate , I packed up when I saw my dad in an oxygen tent due to smoking, I have never even wanted one since , (I could do without the side effect though ......all five stone of it )
The doctor will have you bright eyed and bushy tailed soon mate . Get well soon.?

I would give it another few days/week Rob. Stress at work won't help a speedy recovery and very few employers appreciate employees who "do the right thing" these days.

Or ones who go off sick again because they went back to early.
Give it a week.

Met the wife from work earlier and went for a walk around the town to get some fresh air in my lungs.
I'm supposed to be playing golf on Friday, seniors four man team event at Cooden.
Easy walking, so figuring it might do me good to get out.

Stop counting the days mate. It's over. You've cracked it so don't even think about it anymore.

Anyway, Sam, and several dozen Forumites and mates, would have your danglies hanging from a flagpole if you started again.

Managed to collar a buggy for Norman and I.
Got to be round to the 9th hole by 9am as it's a popgun start.
That's similar to a shotgun start, but not as aggressive.
