My reasons for quitting? I wanna be around long enough to see my kids grow up, I dont like getting back from a ride and coughing till Im blue in the face and because of diabetes, the doc says if I dont quit, its a question of when, not if I eventually have a stroke. I dont really like the idea of becoming a vegetable at some point.
So Thursday morning, Im off to the docs to see about getting something to help. Trying to quit cold turkey requires more will power than I have.
Some may differ, but I don't think I could have done it without the patch.
Just the thought of the harm a single cigarette would do to my body keeps me from considering it. And to think I used to do that 10-20 times per day.
