well we are all going to die and be statistics.
The only thing that I consider is the category that I will be in.
Correction: I am going to die the best look broad I can be and I ain’t gonna get there with lung and face cancer.

I used to set up oxygen concentrators and nebulizer equipment for clients who needed O2 therapy and breathing treatments. Many of them had COPD caused by years of smoking.
If you quit now, your lung tissue will heal and new lung tissue growth will not be exposed to toxins.
Even if you cut back or have one smoke while quitting, keep encouraging yourself to quit for good. Then those awful public ashtrays will make you want to gag when you walk by them.

Was talking to my support worker about quitting today. He said he would take me to the meetings. Have tried patches but with poor results. The mouth spray is slightly better but I find it to be an irritant to the point of painful. Was thinking of trying the gum. Here in the UK the doctor can prescribe smoking cessation products which works out a lot cheaper.

We are already part of statistic, thats how they know the percentage of schizophrenics among the population
Almost 24 hours since I quit. I feel good. More clean air moving in and out of my lungs. A little less worried too.

Had a three hour out loud conversation with myself about WW2. I hope quoting smoking is a good idea. I feel like Gullom and I fear I’m only getting worse. But I will take my meds around 3.
Yeah, quiting smoking is major! It might help if you put a straw or bar twissler in your mouth to just move around and get that part of the old business satisfied.

When I smoked, I told myself the cigarettes were my lifeline. I used some form of false thinking to tell myself that cigarettes calm me and comfort me. The stench of cigarette smoke and the inhalation of hot toxins are really not a comfort for me.
What I finally found to be more comforting, drinking Numi Chamomile Tea and napping, became a beneficial, lifesaving comfort.
I got a kick out of watching my body react to a more slow, less pushy way of relaxing. Pushing myself to have a cigarette to deal with issues was becoming an old practice.

Anyone who works at quitting has motivation to do so.

That’s great. I know your Christian so I want to share this:
Like a month ago (when I stopped going to church) I had intercepted a lady from Bible study who I had hallucinated that she had gave me flyers to check out some new sounds like she was in the music business. I asked her about it infront of the whole room and she said the didn’t take place. So anyway I was embarrassed cause now the cats out of the bag that I’m nuts.
I was actually think about never going back or to any church for that matter. So Monday I get an email from a friend who is only one (besides the Pastor and his mother-in-law )that know I am crazy. So odd enough I told the random lady who doesn’t like me on the sidewalk that I would be there for Bible study but not for not service. I don’t why?
Anyways so the day of Bible study I quit smoking. The weird thing is that lady I hallucinated was in the music business was there. And she did bring flyers this time and they were to quit smoking…i doubled checked several times and unlike the music industry one I can hold them in my hand and look at them. Thought I would share. God I’m so glad you guys are here because the evil one lurks close to me now. I can feel him.
Btw the last before yesterday everybody in Bible study and my Pastor prayed that I quit smoking. I know God is working but I don’t want to be nuts like the last time I was forced to quit because my apartment complex went non smoking. Difference now is its more of a choice. But I don’t want to walk around in ball gowns and and have mom bf buy packs and hand me cigarettes when I quit.
My useful defense or offense in these types of situations has been self-isolation. I did have a co-worker once say though that she “kills them with kindness” about folks who cause stress. Her point is they are smothered with kindness and can’t take it and back off.
