I have just gotten started on this journey and I had to take a break! I had a mild heart attack on Jan 9 and I was in the hospital for 4 days. Now that was just enough to stop my forward momentum for a bit.
Or it may have even added some chapters to my book. I am only 47 and am in pretty good health overall – or was. Smoking was the main culprit to this problem – which is still mind boggling because I have only been a smoker for 10 years, not all my life.
The good news is that I have quit smoking – did I really have a choice? No, and that is definitely causing some anger issues with me. I wanted to quit on my own and I was definitely getting much closer to doing that. My body failed me and never gave me a chance to have that last cigarette and be in control of my quitting.
It has been 12 days now and even though I don’t usually ‘want’ a cigarette I could start again right now easily. Sigh…. but I won’t do that because I am a better person and I really do want to get healthy.
