For my 50th post, breathing!

[pericat]

Take a deep breath. Isn't that neat? I like doing that.

Last weekend on-call, I got a call at 4:30 in the morning. Got up, drink of water, booted PC, vaped, did not cough. If I'd still been smoking, could not have smoked without gross hacking at that hour. Yesterday, jogged (slow, non-runner jog) up steep hill. At the top two deep breaths and all good. This morning my partner said for the last week my snoring has been almost non-existent.

Just wanted to share the happy.

I just love to hear good happy stories here. Thank you for sharing that with us. I've also notice that what I use to go through in the morning(I got severe COPD) Is not nearly as bad as it use to be. And I will be the first to second mention that it feels really good to take a deep deep breath and feel my lungs fill with air. Instead of choking on crap. Congrats and I'm also walking a lot more now than I could before. Keep it up

I am with you on this one. I can climb 4 flights of stairs and not be out of breath anymore since I started.

Thanks for sharing. Keep doing what your doing. Way cool. I do not miss waking up coughing 2-3 times a night coughing.

Very good. I can relate a bit. Thank God I don't have that but I get Sinus that will settle in my chest a couple of times a year. SO FAR (knock on wood) I'm good. Last December I had Viral Bronchitis that started in my sinus I was down for most of the Month of December. Just would not go away. Had to finally stay inside away from the evil Mountain Cedar. Good for you.

Isn't it awesome? I first realized it when I had to run for a bus, about half a block. Had I been smoking I'd have about died lol. I didn't realize till I was sitting down that oh hey, I'm not out breath at all, let alone doubled over coughing and gasping for air! LOL. Love this vaping stuff!

You know what I notice? A lot more Rice Krispies in my kness on the stairs. Maybe because I'm going faster? Or maybe I was wheezing so hard I couldn't hear it before LOL

Congratulations! It really is a wonderful feeling. I would become so short of breath at times (climbing stairs, ect) it was almost painful. Scarey stuff!

It's only been 2 weeks off the analogues, but the difference is amazing. I used to cough myself to sleep. Now, nothing! Sometimes, in the morning, I'd cough so hard that I was on the verge of vomiting. But now mornings are clear and nice.

That is awesome and encouraging. It's only been 28 hours since my last analog so I'm looking forward to being able breathe effortlessly again. Today I got a latte from DD and it was the best latte ever. I kept wondering what the girl did to make it taste so much more delicious than usual lol. Then I thought to myself, "Wait, I haven't smoked since yesterday. Maybe that's why this tastes so awesome." If a latte tastes that good that fast, I can't wait to see what breathing, eating, and smelling is like a month from now.

Ho, I used to wheeze myself to sleep. Trying to get to sleep with a chestful of (very little ones, mind) mewing kittens was exasperating. And now, as you say, nothingnothingnothing! Just blessed quiet.
