MILD COPD AFTER 4 MONTHS

Dear Peeps,smoking cessation,I just had to post this because I am almost shocked athow my lungs are responding to not smoking.And besides I am a test bed for others that might be interested inknowing if it is worth it after so many years of smokingto quit and it the answer is a flat HECK YES !!!I am confessing that after 40 years since age 10 Ismoked and yet even after what doctors said I haveas mild copd compared to how I feel now is AMAZING.Ok did I start right out and power walk and get physical?Yes I did...started right away even doing lung exercisesby doing slow deep breath in....pause 3 seconds.Then slow exhale out and relax...doing about 10 or 20a day 2-3 times a day....just do them any old time.Calms you down too so DO NOT do that while drivinga car it can be risky.Anyway back to the hamster cage and the test results.I could actually detect the mild copd before I alwaysknew there was a funny way I was breathing but as asmoker I said...heck I am fine....sure....just fine.NOT fine !! I quit when I heard I hadMILD COPD.So here is what I am getting to. For the last few weeks my copd sensations have NOTbeen as noticeable! I was so use to it and now I am thinking...gee what is happening here?I was always aware of it before and yea I know thereis some damage but heck I am 110% more energetic.I have more air now than ever. I was shooting a basketball last weekend with my neighbors kid age 13and my neighbor that still smokes could only watch.Last summer I could only watch...BUT NOT THIS YEAR!So if you wondering if the body DOES really heal and your wondering if your life WILL be better. All I can sayis I never knew before because I did not quit. But now that I quit and have more than 4 months...IT IS REAL !!!Thank you for hearing me out.I know many of you have heard my story. I am not looking for a cradle here I am only sharing mystory so others can have hope they might need it. Hope or just an inspiration of some sort toget a quit going.Yea so that is my sermon for the month...have a great day and take every day as if it is youvery last day alive. I am seeing so many people dyingaround me age 45 age 50 age 60 from cancer.This is war folks..we need to stay in the battle !Best to all of you,stop smoking now,Jeff
