never to late to give up smoking
Hi i am seventy years old have smoked all my life since i was ten years old.Like many people i have tried and failed quiet a few times to give up but always went back to smoking
i have had a smokers cough for years and started to realised i was the odd one out as less and less people are smoking so 45 days ago i woke up one morning and was fed up with waking up and wanting a smoke fed up with coughing fed up with feeling out of breath i decided i was quiting that day and have not had a smoke since i have done it cold turkey and i have the times when i would love a drag in a cigaret but need does not last long i downloaded a app to keep track of my not smoking its called get rich or die smoking
this has been a great help i can see that i have saved $1839.09 in 45 days i do not cough anymore and i can breath in deeply
my app says to buy myself a treat so i bought a new chain saw that i have wanted for a long time never even missed the money as i banked the money that i would have spent on smokes
cant believe how much money is building up in that account
Anyway what i want to say is if i can do it after all this time you can to so keep trying
Hi Redfield. That is such an inspirational story and I hope you don't mind if i refer to it under my New Years Resolution-what now page that I hope to fill with success stories like yours to encourage newcombers who may be by shortly. I will join another quit group and drop a story like you just did. Wouldn't it be great if everyone who made a resolution to quit smoking this year really could find the motivation to stick with it!
Good luck to you and all my fellow smokers. May we have a busy season ahead on iCanQuit and other great sites!
Thank you for posting. I am sure like me, many will find your story inspiring
Good luck to your quit... I myself am 142 days quit and feeling great
Hi Redfield....i quit at 68 and been 2and half yrs now. I have saved thousands with what the cost of cigarettes are now in my part of the world. Smoked for 53yrs. People used to tell me "the damage has already been done ".....that is crap cause thank God i feel better. Never too late to quit. Hang in there mate. Cheers.
Thanks Redfield, it's good to know that it's not too late (I am nearly 60). I really regret that I have lived my life for tobacco and not for myself, family and friends. I have always been ashamed of my adfiction and tried to hide it from others. Onwards and upwards toward a better quality of life.
