Re: IF I CAN YOU CAN
For me it was the cost. I was 30 at the time (started smoking when I was 15), and spent most every weekend at the lake with my friends. We would go on Friday after work and stay until Sunday afternoon. On one weekend I was sitting in my fold up chair at the lakeshore thinking about my income and how to spread it out to cover all the things I liked to do. It occurred to me that the cost of one week of cigarettes was about the same as a weekend at the lake. That was all it took. I was able to quit that day, had no craving problems and after a couple of years the smell of smoking even became unpleasant. That was 36 years ago and every now and then when I see someone smoking I think how much money that it would have cost me to still be a user. There is something (cost, health benefits, inconvenience, maybe your spouse, etc.) that will be worth more than the pleasure of smoking?.you just have to find what that something is and switch your mind off smoking and over to the item of more value and it will be easy.Congratulations!
Any tips for those of us considering quitting?
