Day 111- Time to Quit
As much as I like the act of smoking, it is killing me.
I used to be so anti-smoking it was unbelievable. I started at the age of 20, after a bad car accident where a friend died. Everyone was sitting around sad, talking and chain smoking. So, for some reason I started. Every time I got pregnant, I quit no problem. Then I'd start up a couple years later. It started with well, I'll just smoke when we are hanging out with people. Then it turned into everyday. I quit once for 3 months...then it started the same way again.
My Dad passed away at 29 from heart disease. We once went and saw a spiritual medium, and he told us that my Dad said that cigarettes killed him. My Mom has had Breast Cancer. My Aunt died at 40 years old from Breast Cancer. My Grandpa died from complications from smoking. Yeah, bad genes. The last thing I should do is be smoking.
I'm not a light smoker either. When I smoke I smoke a lot! This passed week, I've been having this continuous pain in my chest, right in the heart area. It's this burning sensation. I've seriously been afraid I was going to die in my sleep the past couple days. I've really cut back on my smoking by like 1/4..and as soon as this pack is done...I'm done.
I want to live a full life, and be there for my kids until I am old. Smoking just isn't worth that. So, I will be giving my hardest shot at not ever buying another pack again.
