VIDEOS: Today is my Quit Day







There were so many good and helpful points in these videos about stopping the habit of smoking. I honestly don't understand why I ever started. I honestly think i thought it was cool. How lame is that? And then out of "coolness" it became a habit and then past that I would say a need. I would call it a need. I felt I needed it to cope with the stress of life. THAT sounds even LAMER then my previous lame statement, but it's true. I have only really ever given quitting cigarettes ONE real good attempt, and i STOPPED. For TWO years. And then I picked it up again. People really can't blame anyone but themselves when it comes down to the habit of smoking. NOONE else makes you put that cigarette up to your lips. The two biggest reasons I want to quit is 1. It sets a TERRIBLE example for my children to see. Kira REALLY wants me to stop smoking so that I don't get cancer. She saw a commercial of a lady with half her face gone and said she doesn't want that for me. I told her I would quit because she wants me to and THAT matters. But really I WANT TO. More then anything. Her wanting it is just additional motivation. 2. I don't want cancer or any other smoking related illness. There are a bunch of other reasons too that I keep closed in my hand written journal. But I'm ready. I'm prepared for it being a journey but I am set to win. I need to get through 72 hours NOT smoking. After that the nicotine is out of your system and the physical symptoms of quitting subside a lot.
