   Today is my first day quit. I have had a lot lately of a begin my quit and that same day my mind is already like it's okay you don't need to stop coming. It's always been my best friend, always been there but in truth I realize that my whole life while was smoking my body was destroyed little by little. I have 2 huge holes in both my ear drums that never healed. My ENT said she could try to patch the holes but not while I am smoking. Now the holes in my ear drums are effecting my balance often getting dizzy right out of the blue and falling leaving me a high risk for falls. I want to quit smoking so I can get that surgery so I no longer need to fear will fall so much.
