Greetings everyone! Recently told my doctors I was able to stop smoking cold turkey. When they asked how, I stated I simply smoke a pipe 3 times a day or so, and i haven't touched cigarettes ever again. Well of course they didnt like this, but I reminded them that I no longer inhale smoke into my lungs. Begrudgingly, they changed my chart from smoker to non-smoker, however smokes pipe...lol. I smoked for many years and several years ago was diagnosed with a neuromuscular disorder which has progressed to the point of me in a wheelchair. My diaphragm is getting weaker and I couldnt tolerate the cigarettes anymore. My doctors are actually happy with my progress and dont think I have to quite smoking. It relaxes me, plus puts me in contact with some of the best people I have ever met! Thank you for this forum, to all of you for your input. I have been an avid reader for at least 8 months and am finally joining the madness! Thank you for being the coolest group of people on the planet, I am just sorry I didnt find you guys and gals sooner. Cheers!
