SMOKING KILLS By Nick Critelli

Date sort Score sort
Tobacco is an insidious substance. The addiction can be intense and there is no question about the medical ramifications. It is an addiction that can be beaten.
 
Your preaching to the choir - I quit smoking last November due to:

1. Cost of tobacco
2. Cost of my health
3. Because I really wanted a challenge at the time.

Quit cold turkey. Funny how I just woke up & thought - Right, that's it! Time to quit is now! Haha, left my abusive ex the same week. Figured it was just time to change my life around which had been pretty miserable for 6 years because he was such a negative person who wouldn't work, abused drugs etc.

Lifes great now btw :) setting up my incomes, able to go out without an animal of a man stalking behind the front door etc loving it lol
 
Hooray for you, GD91! To quit bad habits (social or chemical) it seems like you just let the hammer come down. Good for you. There was a previous thread that dealt with quitting smoking and people in it were trying all kinds of gimmicks – no one wanted to go cold turkey. The ugly truth is, no one really wanted to quit smoking. I also quit cold turkey. For me, it took about a year before the last vestige of smoke left my list of habits – that was 40 years ago. I had a partner who died this last March from lung cancer – wished I had known her earlier in life; perhaps I would have been able to help her quit.
 
I quit two years ago when I found out I had cancer, figured you can't go through treatment while killing yourself smoking, an insidious habit with a way of convincing you that you need it to survive. Took cancer to get me to quit, now I wonder why I ever smoked.
