We are both so much healthier today that I wonder ehy we waited until we had a health scare to do it? And have you seen the cost of a carton? OMG! I can't believe people will actually pay that much and then let it go up in smoke!Sheri and Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05841702715840837835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-77905229534285026252009-11-21T11:32:11.576-07:002009-11-21T11:32:11.576-07:00My mother didn't quit until she was so ill wit...My mother didn't quit until she was so ill with cancer that she couldn't roll herself downstairs from the hospital room to grab a smoke in the parking lot. My dad didn't quit until he was too ill to light his own pipe. My brother and I have asthma from second-hand smoke (I hope that's all we have)-and neither of us smokes.

Everybody has different motivation but if you have nothing then just try to count all the money you spend on cigarettes and as a person working in the insurance business I suggest to consider also the insurance premiums for non-smokers.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Lornelife insurance Canadahttp://lsminsurance.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317632603483889308.post-78831878053663753672009-11-20T06:54:14.783-07:002009-11-20T06:54:14.783-07:00Congrats to you for having been successful!

Finally I got MAD at the cigarettes controlling me!! If you think about it, they control a great deal of your life, you don't... So, when the anger hit, so did the grace to quit.. I used the patches for a while, but then I discovered, one day, that I hadn't changed patches in about 4 days!!LOL So, I just took it off and that was it. I feel so much better, and SMELL so much better!! I hope a few people will quit this year..<br />hugs,<br />JeanJeankflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830433635650943988noreply@blogger.com
