[QUOTE="mom_to_3, post: 67417, member: 30"] Ha Ha Esther! I know you are as serious as one can be asking that question. I [b]LOVED[/b] smoking, probably still would if I would allow myself to smoke again. Each person has to have their motivator. I happen to have several. What should be my biggest motivator is that I have Thyroid Eye Disease. Smoking makes this worse so the literature says. I have had radiation treatments to my eyes, three months ago I had an orbital decompression surgery and have about three more surgeries to go to correct the havoc this disease has caused my eyes in the coming months. I certainly don't want my smoking to make me have another flare and I want to heal pretty too. My other BIG motivator is that they just plain stink. And I knew how filthy they smelled when I did smoke. I was so embarrassed of my smoking. I've actually had people tell me that I didn't look like the type to smoke. They were right and wrong in that statement. And finally, I absolutely hated that [b]*I*[/b] allowed something so filthy, harmful, smelly and expensive to control me! They are still controlling me somewhat because I allow those smoking thoughts to come into my mind, still. But........... I plan to control myself and never pick one up again. This last statement, I had a hard time accepting until I was a nonsmoker, I didn't really see it or believe it until I was on the outside looking in. I'll never be one of those nasty ex smokers. When you are ready, you will quit. If you aren't interested, then that's your gig. They are still legal. I do know one thing for certain tho, they were certainly my nerve calmer. My anxiety level has been much higher since I quit that's for sure, but my doctor and I have an understanding! Good luck in whatever you do! [/QUOTE]
