We Quit Cigarettes

[WannaBeHillBilly]

That crap does not belong in BYC. I reported it.
ETA: we are here to support Kiki in her efforts to stop smoking. This thread has been hijacked.

2nd edit: I an talking about Carp's video.

I didn't thought that particular video was too bad! I stumbled upon worse on YT…
But you're right we are here to support @Kiki - and prevent her from going to sleep, so she will be too tired to even think about grabbing one of those »coffin nails«!

I didn't watch the video.
It didn't bother me being in this thread.

I hope the video wasn't too extremely bad, because I resolved the report since I deleted it.

I am so proud of you! Quitting smoking is difficult. You should be applauded for taking steps to succeed in this. I've always heard that sharing your journey with others makes a positive impact and seriously raises success rates with stopping. Being held accountable by so many is a huge help for many and I hope it proves true for you as well. I smoked for a long time but I won't start back and I'm sure of that. I will share my experience with how I stopped and I DO NOT recommend this route. Before all of these awful things came out from vaping related illnesses, I stopped smoking with the help of vaping. I vaped for 3 years and stopped in May of 2018, when I was diagnosed with pneumonia, spesis, pleural effusion, and was very anemic (not sure how I got out of getting a blood transfusion) and so low on so many vitamins needed. I had to have 2 thorothenthesis' (no clue of spelling but they drained fluid off my lung that was so sick and full of fluid) & the pain was excruciating. I was so sick and at 38 years old, I was in the hospital for a week (my local hospital is always eager to get patients out the door if at all possible, to free up beds, so if they keep you, you're sick). I cried and begged them to let me go home everyday because my daughter and I hadn't ever been apart overnight (she was 6 years old) but my doctor kept telling me that he didn't want my daughter to find me dead or for me to get worse and need to stay for a much longer amount of time. Well, fast forward to Feb 2020, I still have breathing problems. I have an inhaler that is a preventative used twice a day and a rescue inhaler that I use a few times a week. I still have lung damage and lung pain to this day anytime I attempt to take a deep breath. I share this in hopes that vaping isn't considered and doing anything to your lungs can change your life. I know many people that have had nothing but improvements since quitting smoking and I hope that's the case with you. My thoughts are with you. You can do this, even if you have a slip up, you can do this. So many of us believe in you!

I kept reading about sharing my journey and how it could help.
I'm telling you I really almost didn't start this thread.
Again I'm glad I did. I hope your lungs get better.

I don't care about off topic in my threads.
Don't worry about it.

I actually enjoyed watching a "flying leotard" drenching his (her?) eyes in vodka! That must burn like hell! I can't even use eye drops, let alone high proof alc…
