Hi joel,

 

First of all, I would like to thank this forum and Whyquit.com. Tremendous work and Knoweledge for us, smokers and x-smokers. I used to be proud of being a "healthy" smoker, not gotting neither cold or flur. Also, I was a very active person, used to run, go to gym...of course, exercises could no longer be part of my lifestyle now. Then, I got Pharyngitis two times in a row. I got upset, but at that time I thought my smoking had nothing to do with that. So, I took my medicine, got better, and felt good to smoke. About 1 year after, I went back to the doctor. I remember that on my way to the doctor, I swore God I would stop smoking - I was thinking that I had something serious, because I was constantly coughing. I didn't stop, I was with sinusitis, not cancer .  I got better, and then got sick again. This time was bronchitis. Now, I am conviced that smoking has impaired my health - this is unbeliveable for me, because I have college degree and...no excuses . Everyday, I worried about what is next for me!

 

It has been 2 years that I try to quit, but what happens when we go to sleep, absolutly sure of not smoking tomorrow, and then we forget it next morning. Also, every night, when I say it is my last cigarette, I can't sleep well, and I woke up later to smoke. Next day, I am tired, so I need to smoke. How to break this cycle?

 

Thanks!
