I quit when I realized my 3 yr old daughter could recognize my brand of cigs, and we don't even smoke around her.

Hey Pink I could actually write a book on my journey that brought me to January 30th, 2006, but in a nutshell......I quit and stay quit as I never want to become a burden to my husband or my family from a smoking related illness.

I hope it is not too late to play............. My initial WHY to quit, was because my hubby wanted to quit. The only way for him to quit was if I did too. He had this horrible cough for years (it is really BAD....) and will not go to the doctor. I know it is something serious, so I decided to quit with him. That was my initial WHY. I'll be honest though, I didn't think he would last. Finally at 20 days, he smoked. But I didn't. I just kept on going. My WHY now is different. I too have asthma. I was on 2 different inhalers daily, and went in once a week for a breathing treatment at the docs. I still smoked through all of this.......... But now, I am off all inhalers and pretty clear of any asthma for over 4 months now. So my WHY now is my health. My motivation to stay quit is my 2 girls. In case you didn't know....... They are my inspritation in my journey. They have to watch their Dad smoke, and cough, and stink everyday. I know what will eventually happen.......... So at least they have me as a role model to not smoke. I am hoping that since they are fairly young still, as time goes on, maybe they won't even remember that I smoked. Anyhow, thank you for this post. I really enjoy reading other peoples responses. Take care! ;) 4my2girls [b][i][color=Maroon]What Consumes Your Thoughts Controls Your Life[/b][/i][/color] [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/5/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 199 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,985 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $650.73 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 16 [B]Hrs:[/B] 1 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 41
