Me too. *sniffle* What powerful thoughts. That's pretty awesome and, you're absolutely right. In light of all that, quitting smoking is a breeze, a cool breeze, on a warm and sunny day, at the beach, with my kids...and no breathing tube. :| N.O.P.E. Strength be with us.

The following message was posted on the voices of nicotine recovery message group on Yahoo. Thank you, Gary, very empowering! Quitting Smoking is Easy!! � � � Easier than hearing your doctor say, "I'm sorry . . ." � � � Easier than breathing through tubes up your nose. � � � Easier than having a Tracheotomy. � � � Easier than your child seeing you die from cancer. � � � Easier than losing a friend . . . or a friend losing you. � � � Easier than laying in the hospital having radiation treatment. � � � Easier than laying in the hospital wishing you could feel the sun. � � � Easier than listening to your loved ones crying outside your hospital room. � � � Easier than preparing for your funeral because the cancer has gone so far. � � � Easier than picking out your favorite songs for your funeral. � � � Easier than trying to say the right words because they will be your last. � � � Easier than not seeing your child's face because of blindness. � � � Easier than looking out the window knowing you can't go there anymore. � � � Easier than changing your retirement plans. � � � Easier than imagining your spouse being alone. � � � Easier than going through your photo album with tears. � � � Easier than telling your child you are dying young because you smoked. � � � Easier than realizing smoking was more important to you than your life.

Thank you so much for that post. I have it printed out and hanging so that I can remind myself to never smoke again.
