Why I want to stop

Posted in Reasons to quit
schedule 18 Jan 2013

Hello all, 

This site is excellent support and really hits home with its personalized way of seeing how much you could save etc. I have been smoking for 15-17 years and my jaw dropped when I worked out on My Quit Buddy app from QuitLine that I had smoked about 88,500 cigarettes.

I think I probably enjoy about 1/4 of a packet of cigarettes now and with a new child and a wife who no longer smokes I really see this at the time I am now ready to bin it. The negatives really completely outway the positives and there is nothing positive about smoking anymore! I will be going the cold turkey route, and I think with I Can Quit and Quit Buddy with reminders and goals, and ready to stop I am feeling good about doing it. 

I am sick of stinking of it, constantly very little money, health, skin, lack of appetite, weight loss and all the other crap that goes with it!

Its excellent encouragement to read others experiences as we are all going through the same thing, and only smokers know how it is! Looking forward to seeing everyones progess.

David
