    I probly coulda played junior hockey, but noooo… gotta hang out with the edgy cool kids in high school.

    It sucks even worse knowing that the rest of my body and my brain are still capable of doing sports, but my lungs and heart just cannot take the pressure. I can’t even jog more that 2 blocks.

      I feel that. I’m right around five years tobacco free, and I’m still recovering. I have gotten enough lung power back to do some (horrible) singing, and sex has gotten less pant inducing, but I don’t know that I’ll ever be all the way back to where I would be if I’d never smoked at all
