Awesome post, Joe......
I put off many a quit by telling myself I couldn't last a month, or two or a year. That other people before me had quit and caved, that my life wouldn't be the same if I didn't smoke.
All I can say is going thru withdrawals has been horrible and painful to myself and my family, but I am HEALTHIER than I was 54 days ago, I can walk for an hour and not have pain in my chest when I breathe, my hair STILL smells like shampoo hours after my shower, and I know I will live longer now because of the decision I made almost two months ago.
Am I afraid I will start again? No. Because I have had discussions with the Nicodemon when he has come knockin' and pretty much told him that I no longer need to smoke to cope with the "crisis of the moment". And as long as I can remember that and hold true, I won't smoke. Ever.
thanks again. great post!
