BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

Yep, have 2 good friends (both truckers) who've had heart attacks in the last 2 years. Both had triple bypass. Neither one of them were what you would call overweight either.

 

It’s never to late to start taking better care of yourself. I smoked for 23.5 years, was really starting to feel the effects of that the last couple of years. I quit the first week of March. You would be surprised the difference in how you feel after only even one month of not smoking. It’s a ##### though, the first six weeks were hell for me. Best thing I ever did. And I think I have couple years on you.

 

Where'd you go, BD?

 

Ya i keep thinking of taking a couple months off work so i can get a chantax prescription to help ease the pain of quitting.

 

Quitting smoking was easy for me years ago. Quitting donuts is another story

 

Me too, the cigs we're easy compared to giving up my donuts and even worse my Dr Pepper. I'm not a coffee drinker, but sure had gotten attached to my 2 Dr Peppers a day!!!

 

I wonder which one is actually worse for you anymore.

 

That’s a good question!

 

I quit almost 3 months ago. I’m 46 and had been smoking since I was 13 years old. I feel better and am making a appointment with a pulmonologist. I’m sure I’m long term screwed but, it’s way easier to work flatbed now.

I used chantax a couple times till it worked. I hear Wellbutrin works better?

 

I tried that stuff once, didn’t do a thing for me. I just got it in my mind that I was gonna do it, and did it.
