I'm once again at a point that I need to quit smoking. My plan has always been that if I die young from smoking, well, then I die young. Not that young, I'm 58.
So, I don't want to quit to live longer because there are no guarantees either way.
But, I'd like to breath until I die and breathing is getting harder. To make matters worse, I've gained 40 pounds over the last few years, thank you meds. The weight gain made everything so much worse and I can't believe all of the things that I used to do but can't do now.
I've got enough pack / years that if I was dx'd with lung cancer no doctor would be surprised.
So, I have ecigs I bought a year ago and only used a few times. Not the perfect way to quit but much better than smoking.
What bothers me is, being bipolar, and subject to moods from awesome to laying in bed praying for death. I wonder if I could quit normally much less spiraling out of control.
I'm just airing this out here but comments always appreciated.
Life is good.
