Post need some support

HI....

IAM NEW TO THE HEALTH BOARD..I PLAN TO PUT THE SMOKERS PATCH ON IN THE MORNING.... I USED THE PATCH 2 YEARS AGO AND WAS SUCCESSFUL FOR 4 MONTHS.... I PRAISED THE LORD THAT I WAS FINALLY FREE FROM CIGGERETTS EVERY TIME I THOUGHT OF ONE.... UNTIL ONE DAY AN INCREDABLE URGE CAME AND I THOUGHT I COULD HAVE JUST ONE AND BE OK....THAT WAS MY BIG MISTAKE. I HAD PUT THE PATCH ON WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY....AFTER MY SURGERY I COULD NOT BREATH.... I WAS PUT IN INTENSIVE CARE.... THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED TO ME 10 YEARS BEFORE AFTER SURGERY... I ALMOST DIED BOTH TIMES....I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME WAS THE DOCTORS FAULT.... THEY TOLD ME BOTH TIMES THAT IS WAS DUE TO WEAKENED LUNGS....IT IS THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD TO NOT BE ABLE TO BREATH.... I AM ASHAMED THAT I PICKED THE CIGGERETTS BACK UP.... WE ONLY HAVE ONE SET OF LUNGS AND TO USE THEM AS FILTERS FOR SO CALLED PLEASURE IS SO STUPIT.....I PRAY ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME AND I TRUELY NEED SOME SUPPORT..... I HAVE HAD A PAIN IN MY CHEST NEAR MY HEART FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.... IT COMES AND GOES....WHEN IT STARTS I HAVE TO HOLD MY BREATH TO GET IT TO STOP... IF I DONT HOLD MY BREATH IT FEELS LIKE A BUBBLE THAT IS GOING TO EXPLODE IN MY CHEST AND IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL....THE DOCTOR CANNOT FIND ANY THING WRONG...SAYS THAT HE SEES ALOT OF SCAR TISSUE... AND THAT IT IS PROBALLY PLURASEY....HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS.... PLEASE REPLY.... I NEED ALL THE SUPPORT I CAN GET...THANKS SILVER FOX

Silver fox,
You had a success for four months and you made the mistake that most of make and that is ‘one is not enough’. Some people can decide to quit smoking and that’s all there is to it. They are the very few, most of us, me included, quit after many, many attempts. It took me five years to finally quit. You can do it too! You already had four month of success and when you quit this time remind yourself of that. Don’t plan on a slip, but if you do, start planning your next quit. That is the key, never give up trying, and if you keep trying you will succeed. Good luck!
