Why don`t you want to smoke anymore? |
Several reasons. I started having trouble with my voice, which is a problem because I'm a teacher; mostly, I started coughing whenever I laughed. I was tired of going outside to smoke in the lovely Oregon winters. I was tired of spending the money. And my wife quit two years ago, and wanted me to quit as well. I also quit last year, for nine months, and then caved in a weak moment and went back to it despite not really enjoying it any longer; I hated being addicted, instead of smoking by choice. I thought about it and decided I'd rather not smoke.
I miss it sometimes, but at the moment I am happier without. But I also know that when I stop caring about the things I listed above, I'll probably start smoking again. I figure my last 5-10 years on earth are going to suck, anyway -- might as well go out with a butt in my mouth and my middle finger raised at the sky. :)
