Very well said Stickin
I think when you forget about those reasons is when you are in danger. My hubby smokes, I love him, but feel real sorry for him. It is easy now for me to keep focus. I hate the smell, and I hate cold weather.
I think the more we battle early on in our quits the better we are. For me the battle was fierce, my coping skills were used quite often. I also got lots of practice telling the junkie off. Now when I think of smoking, I also think of all the bad effects of it. The 2 just go hand in hand.
My reasons had a lot to do with my kids. They are always around, so it is not hard to remember all my reasons for quiting.
Excellant post Stickin.
