Thread: the right reason

Hi, just wanted to pass on my experience in case it may help somebody give up.

Iam 50 stated smoking when I was about 11/12 lots of time around 20 a day, then slowly as an adult ended up around 40 to 50 a day .

Toyed with giving up a few times , longest was ten months . miserable months!

I worked out that I had never considered giving up for myself, it was for the wife ,or the money or some other external source.

Then about 18 months ago ,actually found something that I had always wanted to do, did it and found to progress I would need to give up the fags! so decision made ,it was so important to me I just stopped, never used any support groups ,patches etc just stopped,not had one craving or one argument , just decided to become a non smoker its brilliant saved a fortune ,dont smell etc etc

If I had'nt found my particular trigger for wanting to give up I never could have done it, so my point is find your own personal trigger/reason, forget everything else it all boils down to you! find that reason the one that finally convinces and makes it worthwhil for yourself!! good luck

Congratulations to you for the brave decision. You must be so lucky to just found your own personal trigger to stop smoking, others are not as fortunate. It is not really easy to give up this addicting habit...

I have to stop smoking. If not for me, for my little daughter. It is difficult and depressing. Smoking gave me relaxation, and peace of mind. It was a psychological stress reliever. So when I was quitting, I have to wait for my husband to go out and brake something in the house, plates, decor...
But I am so happy now, I'm at peace that I am not endangering my families with this bad habit. And I feel so renewed, food taste better, I can breathe better, and I have more energy.
