It is hard quitting but as I just posted on another Stop Smoking article here, I am 37 years old and I cannot breathe. I have tried to quit smoking twice since my spinal surgeries, this WILL be third time lucky because of not I will not be alive, I wake up coughing, I now have repeated chest infections, my oxygen levels are low. What brought me to this determination level I am at now? Well after having another chest infection and it not clearing I am awaiting another lot of industrial strength antibiotics then I woke up a few night ago with chest pain so bad (all over my torso) and coughing up blood stained catarrh and what looked like froth. I have now been warned - when your faced with the choice of a white stick that costs a lot and stinks and a coffin you would be amazed at the motivation it gives you! I want to be around for my children and not be at best a stinker who stands in the rain for her fix and at worst not alive!
