2 and quarter year NON-SMOKER

Hi guys,

I’m here back to announce 2 and quarter year as non-smoker. It’s great feeling that every person, me included, can achieve everything what he/her wants.. It’s just about priorities, willingness and about YOU – nobody will do it for you.. My life goes with achievements, struggling and I’m able to handle it without even thought to cigarettes..

I can proudly say I’m non-smoker.. I have never had believe that I would say this in my entire life..

I drove one family person 50+ year to hospital for chemotherapy this Wednesday – he’s got lung cancer, last stage without any chance to recover.. He is broken psychically and mentally and he has problem to walk or even talking – not good seeing to the person who was busy with work, home and grandson 1 year ago.. Yes, he was chain smoker..

Once, during one of my never ending trying to quit smoking I was smoke free for several days and after visiting him I was so tempted to smoke that when I was back to home I lit it up.. I thought how well he is, smoking, doing thing around house with grandson to do fun.. It was my fake view to allow myself to start smoke again..

When I was younger, I wanted to avoid situation, when I would be diagnostic with cancer and then smoke outside of a hospital.. To regret that I was not able to stop and I caused the illness to myself.. I wanted to quit smoking by my decision and without any helping aids.. I did it by last chance, otherwise I was going to try all possible AIDS to quit this thing.. I was lucky, but it preceded long preparation and even longer list of failures..

I hope I don’t disgust anybody or caused stress to light up, but this is true life story, and that it’s what helped me the most – true successful/unsuccessful stories without adjustments on this page..

Thank you IcanQuit community..

For hope that we can beat it..

We will do it..

A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Matik-1

So Sorry to hear of your Uncles passing and your loss.

Some stories are good and others bad, but we learn through them. When we open our eyes to the reality and stop fooling ourselves, we can make the changes necessary. We all made excuses for years, for any reason, just tn avoid feeling that we HAVE to quit. We all knew that we should, but not so much believed that we COULD.

Again, congratulations. And undoubtably any pain endured was worth it in the long run. I yet to hear anyone regret quitting smoking.
