Everybody has their reasons to quit. Stress is a big factor in smoking, it's a way to release the tension you are feeling. It's your crutch to hold on to, when no one understands you. And is your best friend when you need a pick -me up. You are a smoker-----you are a nicotine addict !!!!!! Nicotine is one of the hardest drugs to fight. Yes you will be in a "bad mood" and you might "gain weight"!!! But it's your health that will suffer if you keep smoking.
I am living proof of smoking, I had the lung cancer, and had my left top lobe removed at age 49,(I also had a 10 year old son and a 28 year old daughter and a wonderful husband) and thank the Lord it was not any where else. I am 51, and I smoked for 34 years, and I have seen two very close relatives DIE because of smoking, LUNG CANCER!!!!!!!
Smoking is like playing Russian Roulette, it's just a matter of time, before it's "your" time to deal with all the harmful things that come out of smoking.
I also got off too the "sneaking out" to smoke, it's a way of rewarding ourselves for what we have done. But once you have "control" over the smoking that will be your biggest reward, is to know you have kicked the "nicotine demon" where the sun doesn't shine!!!!
My question to you is "how much do you cough"?
