QUITTING SMOKING.
Okay, like I am the LAST person that should smoke. (actually, no-one SHOULD smoke, but you know what I mean). I've been a moderate to heavy smoker since I was 14. (AND a coffee addict ... "into" gourmet coffee ... perhaps part of the problem ... I'm generally hyperactive)
I am a cardiac patient. My first heart attack was in 1998... I was otherwise "healthy as a horse" (except for smoking and eating too much junk food, such as tacos(!)), having been recently retired from the military (after 22 years) and working out / running often.
At least 1 additional heart attack since then (and possibly a third).
Three surgeries. I've lost count of how many cardiac stents have been implanted (at least 5-7 or so).
I started to develop COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
A couple of weeks ago, I managed to quit cigarettes for 3 days, gave up - short term memory started to go, started getting so jittery as to start "vibrating". Getting cranky.
SO... Very early last saturday morning, I run out of cigarettes ... on purpose.
Its been Saturday thru most of Wednsday - 5 days now.
I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!
