I was never comfortable with what smoking may be doing to my body in all the years that i smoked, but oddly I was comfortable in smoking. Like the sneak it is it , the addiction slipped into my life and made me its slave. the health issues were always in the backof my mind, but I kept smoking anyway. Finally I lost my job, and just couldn't afford the outrageously over-priced things any longer and was forced to deal with the issue I should have addressedyears ago. I did not want to be gasping for breath 10 years from now and telling myself that I did it all to myself. Smoking is so stupid. the addiction makes otherwise intelligent people stupid. I wanted to quit while I still felt good. I am not so much afraid of dying as I am of suffering and pain. I still feel very weak at times, I only hope I will remain strong in my resolve to quit. Honestly, the addiction pulls one so forcefully, takes conrtol so easily....I hope it is true that it gets easier with time.
