The Choice Is ALWAYS YOURS!

[Ann]

Sometimes that Ole Nic can be very tricky. Cravings may come and go for awhile, but the choice to smoke or not, is ALWAYS YOURS!

Here's letter I wrote to myself after a few cravings I was having a few weeks ago. Hope it shake up your desire to give up your quit.

GOOD-BYE

Today I say good-bye
Good-bye to life
Good-bye to breathing the morning's fresh air
For today I have decided to quit

Quit quitting, that is

I'm tired of smelling everything
all fresh and new

Tired of not coughing and hacking every hour on the hour

Tired of smelling like the soap and cologne I used this morning

I mean, look!
Will you look at my skin!
It's so clear!
And my fingernails aren't yellow any more!

I miss brushing my teeth 24 times a day and gargling to kill the smell of cigarettes from my breath

I even think my hair is getting healthier!
I CAN'T STAND IT!!!!

I really miss that disappointing look my friends and family gave me when they thought I had quit for good, but slipped.

So here I go.......
Back in the rain and cold to get a hit
Back into hiding and sneaking around to get a puff
Back to the corner store to buy a pack ... maybe two
just in case I need more of that black tar in my veins and lungs.

WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!?

CANCER?

Who cares about not being able to hold your food down or losing weight drastically!

I need to diet anyway

I won't need that hair cut any more
Chemo will take care of that

I was always looking forward to my family taking care of me

Now they'll have the chance (sooner)

Cause I'm smoking now!!
Choking now!!
Ole Nic and me, back together again!!

I always wanted to die coughing and hacking

HOW ABOUT U???
