There were a few lightbulb moments for me before I finally decided to quit.
I couldn’t sleep thru an entire night without smoking. I would be Coughing like crazy and still decided it was a good idea to light one up to help with the cough. I thought many times about how crazy I was.
I was hardly ever sick until age 40. My last three years of smoking I was always fighting a cold. I knew what smoking was doing to me. I’m sure if I would have continued my lungs and health would have kept getting worse.
I was questioning why I was investing in my retirement account because I was sure if I continued down the path of almost 2 packs a day I wouldn’t make it to retirement.
The final straw came in the middle of the night after I was coughing up a lung again and was lucky enough to find A support group(Quitnet). I learned all I could and 10 days later I smoked my last cigarette.
