i need a cigarette - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have asthma, my 6 yr. old has it too. Both of my grandparents died from COPD. My grandpa didn't smoke, but my grandma did - heavily. It got them both.

My Mom and other grandma (Mom's Mom) also have COPD and asthma. My aunt and my brother also have asthma. Another thing we all have in common? Yep... we all smoked at some point. However, my brother and I had asthma before we smoked. But we lived with a smoker.

It's stupid and I have every reason in the world to not smoke, but I still crave it. And I only smoked for a couple years! I started smoking because if stress. The minute I'm stressed, I get the cravings something horrible!

Anyway, what helped me the most was sunflower seeds. You can do it... just find what works for you!

Way to go Gina. You can make it. You even make me think I need to get rid of this extra weight. I am a diabetic and thoroughly addicted to sugar. If you can do it, surely I can. Its just stupid to be killing myself.

My husband was told he had asthma (he didn't) - and now - it's too late for him -

The severe damage that was done cannot be treated - and the suffering is tremendous. I've never heard him talk about dying till the other day - he was actually wishing he could just get it over with because he struggles so much to get a breath. He's on a transplant list but he won't live to receive it....even if we COULD afford it...which we can't.

It's a nasty soul-sucking disease.

I really hope for a miracle for your husband. I'm so sorry you have to watch him go through this. You're right, he is really young

Just remember to be strong, if it's too hard, atleast be strong for him.

You already made it through 1 day! Congrats, Only 2 more to go until the hard part is over!!! I quit for 9months one time (and no I wasn't pregnant, lol). Then summer came around again, I was outside w/ my friends most and finally couldn't take it when they lit up, and I gave in. My mom quit 8yrs ago and still has cravings. Just fight them cravings when they come, and definitly try the patch and something to fix the oral fixations. Good luck! I'm so envious of you, I wish I could quit right now.
