Quit Smoking

I was brought up by parents who both smoked. In those days there was not so much awareness of the problems of passive smoking. I never felt the desire or need to smoke myself and my sister didn't start either. She tried it when she was younger, but went a bit green and didn't bother again!

After leaving home, I had chest problems everytime I got a cold. I would cough all night, not getting any sleep. I always dreaded getting a cold knowing it would go to my chest every time. Many years later this has now cleared up. I believe this is because I have been in a smoke free environment for over 20 years.

Several years ago my Mum developed a serious cough that would not go away. It forced her to stop smoking, quite simply because she wasn't able to. Unfortunately the cough did not go away so she had to seek medical advice. To cut a long story short she was diagnosed with lung cancer in her left lung. Fortunately, she was able to have her operation almost immediately due to a cancelation (Some poor soul had died before they could have their operation)

Her operation was a complete success with a few hiccups along the way. She had part of her left lung removed and her heart stopped during surgery and had to be restarted. She gets very puffed out as she hasn't got full lung capacity, but is grateful to be alive. Last year she was given the 'all clear' by the hospital.

After the operation, she struggled with keeping off the 'evil weed'. Although she knew she couldn't smoke, it was still very difficult to not crave it as she had been smoking since her teenage years. She tried everything on the market to help with the cravings. She tried nicotine patches but this was not very successful. Unfortunately she had an allergy to them. The thing that worked best for her was nicotine gum. But the most important thing in her case was WILLPOWER. She has the strongest will of anybody I know and without that she could have failed.

Not everybody has her willpower and needs a different approach. So why not try this Quit Smoking program it might just work for you.
