Quitting a bad habbit

in #life6 years ago


Yes, sorry..... I smoke and I ain't proud of it... I have smoked for many years but it is time for me to quit.
I have thought of it for many times and even tried a few times (without succes obvious) but now I feel that I am really ready to take that final step to really quit smoking...

My main reason


There are several reasons why people quit, my reason lies for the far most in health... I don't suffer from any health problems at this moment but I am convinced smoking isn't a good manner to stay that way (although there are a lot of examples of people who got really old while they smoked). But growing older by the day makes me realize that I really don't want to defy fate. Looking at my kids they are the reason of my happiness and I simple want to be the same for them in stead of (perhaps) bringing them bad news in the future because I had a bad habbit... I enjoy life to much for that and I love them to much for that.....

I know it sounds heavy but that is truely the way I think of it... So I am deeply motivated to quit even with all the temptations around. There is always an excuse to postpone quiting smoking (birthdays, holidays etc) so I want to do it now to already be ahead and stopped before we go on holiday...

I don't know how it is in other countries (besides the countries I have been of course) but it is less and les accepted to smoke and the places where you can smoke are also disappearing more and more, so if I succeed that's a great side effect and bonus not 'Have to smoke' every time and leaving the table in a restaurant for instance..

So I keep you posted on my progress, and if I sound a bit grumpy the next weeks you know the reason lol...

Have a great sunny day today !!

Heel veel succes en sterkte! Ik moet de stap nog zetten...

Awesome news that your deciding to quit! Blogging about things like this can be a release and its nice to be accountable it helps aswell.

Although I never smoked I used to drink and stopped for a number of reasons - and I can tell you it is hard stopping unhealthy habits but the benefits outweigh the short term negatives!

Good luck looking forward to seeing your progress

Thanks man !!! I know it is going to be though but I just have to... And indeed the benefits are so much more then the negatives for now, i just have to go trough them.... And it's a bit of a obligation to the people I love andI really hope writing about it and sharing will brings me the bigger motivation of "not want to fail"....

I will keep you informed about the progress :)

Yeah I quit sugar for a month and blogged about it on here - and I can tell you it was powerful. I often felt like it but didnt want to write in my blog that I had failed!

Good luck - and welcome to a healthier life!
