Hello all. I am going to quit next tuesday. I'm 30 years old and I am really starting to feel the effects of smoking physically and emotionally. I have a wife and kids and call me selfish but I would really like to be around them for a long time. I've seen what it has done to my mom. Eight years ago she was a typical Mother. But she smoked and she ended up getting COPD, and her life has not been nearly the same since. She doesnt like to go anywhere because of the difficulty of breathing, she gained a ton of weight, her quality of life is just horrible and it breaks my heart. And then, 2 weeks ago my aunt called me and told me my uncle who is only 51 is dying of lung cancer. Its apparently spread all over they said he's had it at least a year. There not even trying any treatment it too late.
I've tried to quit a few other times but I'm really trying to be confident that I can do it this time,because I really like my life. I'm going to do the small steps I've learned from your website over the next week and lets hope I have success. I've downloaded the messenger thingy , I need some buddies because I think it will really help to talk to people that have gone through the same experience and help me keep my eye on the prize. Awesome website by the way. Take Care.
