There are a few things that make me realise it the end of the smoking road for me. The COPD is a wake up call, the fact that I am sick of constantly wanting to be a non-smoker but haven't given up, blaming everything physical symptom on smoking, watching my body get older and more affected by my stinking habit, knowing my children deserve better, my tiredness and lack of motivation and being fed up with having to cater to my addiction.
My quit date is the 17th Oct. I am spending hours everyday reading and preparing myself. This isn't the life I choose for myself. I am wasting time sitting in a chair killing myself. I want to breath and I want to live in freedom!
For me, it's when the confidence and belief that I can successfully quit becomes greater than my fear of failing or painful withdrawal. Working through this program has definitely boosted my confidence and preparedness and I'm looking to set a date to quit in the next few days here...
