Excuses

Quote From: girlspirit

I wonder how much you spend on cigarettes in a month.

I could be wrong, but I got the feeling that the smoker on the show wasn't ready to quit because she had her excuses. Weight gain is another popular one. Many smokers are already overweight because they have addictive personalities to begin with. Ten more pounds probably won't make a big difference in their health.

Is your life worth $45 a month? If you have children, I'm betting they would say it is and wouldn't mind chipping in. It sure beats paying for hospital bills and a funeral. Please keep trying. Do whatever it takes to stay healthy for those who love you.

Best of luck to you, mingjade, mommajulie and others.

I always have lots of excuses for not quitting, like all the stress I am under (you have no idea how much), I have no willpower and no support system. When I tried before all the adults in the house smoked and they refused not to smoke when I was in the room. They could care less if I quit, especially my hubby who was always offering me cigerattes.

Anyway, you have to die sometime and sometimes it is better sooner than later.
