Very special congrats to you 2 Stoned!!!!Man, that's really encouraging me, stopped tobacco 3 times in my life and always restarted ( i'm such an idiot )! I tried this year to stop again, but it's much harder this time, your report and others i know give me some hope to get it!
Mongol, I too quit a few times only to restart again. That is until about 2 months ago, with a visit to my Doctor. Went for my shoulders, they are completely shot. Told the Doc about my left one giving me a real bad time along with a small muscle in my back that causes pain to shoot thru to my chest, has happened a few times over the years. He said that I should get a stress test first before he would do anything about the shoulder.....O.K. To my surprise, flunked the stress test...so next had to have a Heart catheter. Woke from that with 3 stents in my heart, found out I was walking death. The one Artery they call the "widow maker" was over 85% closed and another looked like a "thread" another 80% plus blocked. The rest looks like SHIT. Haven't had a Cig. since and feel great. Please, don't wait for that to happen to any of you. I was just blessed with a second chance, not everyone gets that. Peace and prayers to you all.
