Why am I sooooo done with this addiction?
~My teeth are turning yellow, and I feel embarrassed.
I'm starting to pick up the habit of covering my mouth when I laugh or smile.
~I hate the way that my car smells and looks. It takes up so much time trying to keep it clean and free of ashes ( a never ending battle).
~My mother recently quit 2 weeks ago; and I still sometimes smoke in front of her... not ever again!
~I'm so over bronchitis! and ashma! When I get really sick, I wont take my treatment because I fell like I deserve the pain. I felt really silly taking my machine and smoking at the same time! So I would just suffer... not no more!
~MONEY HONEY!
~Because, I LOVE and MISS JOGGING!
~For the Love of my Life! Who has made it clear that he will never marry a smoker.
~Because I'm a pre-med major for god's sake! What a hypocrit I will be, warning my patients the dangers of smoking.
~Because If I don't now, when will I. Really, do I need to wait till i'm 40 to say, Oooo, this is what they all warned me of... ok I get it... now rewind time please!!
~Because If I ever have kids, I would never want them to worry about me, the way I do about my mom, who has smoked for over thrirty years and has developed COPD.
~For my friends, whom have confessed needing to wash their clothes asap after they leave my house.. can u imagine!!!
~For a calmer and relaxed me. If I'm sitting in school during a long test, im chewing the eraser off off my pencil!
~Because I get a neck cramp from trying to smoke and at the same time trying to avoid the "real" harmful smoke coming from the top that makes my eyes burn!:)
~Because I'm a smart girl and I deserve it!!
Why I gave in?
I started to feel depressed and developed a weak mindset, and exprerienced anxiety. Mental illness runs in my family. So when I experienced unfamiliar feelings, I got really scared and I thought I was headed for the deep end.
Why I am quiting again.
Thanks to every one on this website, I learned that these feelings are very very normal!! I learned that they can be dealt with and can be overcome. I now know that dealing and coping with these feelings is just what it's going to have to take. I think a new mindset is needed. I know that these feelings are only because of withdrawal and as time goes by, I will begin to feel more grounded. So I feel sad and angry... so what?...OMG this sooooooooooo worth it!!
