THESE THOUGHTS.........

.....were "gifted" to me by an elder who is sadly no longer active on this site. Having seen a number of people concerned about how hard or scary quitting might be......I gift them on to all of you.

Think quitting is hard? Think quitting is scary?

Think about how scary it will be when the doctor begins his sentence to you with "I am sorry to have to tell you but........."

Think about how hard it will be to sit down with your family and tell them life as you know it is about to change

Think about how scary it will be to have to deal with shortness of breath, pain, loss of independence or work

Think about how hard it will be to have to change your life around to deal with doctor's appointments, treatments, less energy, diminished ability to enjoy family

And......think about the fact that----- although no one will say it-----you will think it...............that you brought this all on yourself by not...............................QUITTING.

Stay Strong

I quit smoking in 2009 after years and years of addiction. I just became sick and tired of the whole smoking thing. This site was a lifesaver with the support I received...so as you can see, I hung around to help others. I became friends with many people....some are here now and some are gone. Welcome to anyone who is new....this is EX....we are all here for each other.
