Well since you asked....I can say I still would like to smoke a cigarette. <g> It doesn't seem to go away maybe it just takes longer. In my case I had absolutely no choice in quitting smoking. I had a heart attack but did not know it. I didn't know until i began to "fail".... really physically fail I could not get thru a day without passing out cold! Several times I was awaken while lying on the floor by my Yorkies licking my face. LOL I had severe heart complications and spent almost 5 weeks in the hospital...didn't know if I would ever be able to come home alive. Nearly 2 weeks of that time was spent in "open heart surgery recovery room" while the docs worked very hard to get my heart strong enough to beat. Then I spent another 2 weeks in ICU. Finally I managed to graduate to physical therpy and then I was on the road to recovery. It has NOT been an easy road back. I would advise ANYONE and EVERYONE to listen up.
Stop smoking now! I am not an avid stop smoking crazy person. But I do strongly recomend one think about the future if you expect to be around. Don't do as I did...listen up! You just may not be as lucky as I am. I am back to doing everything I did before the heart issues. I feel great! But again....listen up. That next cigarette could be your last...and I mean that literally. It could be the last thing you ever do!
