Why Now Is The Right Time To Stop Smoking

I found this great picture here in a blog called Dr X’s Free Associations, and my immediate associations to this picture were three.

The first was a transfer to my kids and myself  - and the fact that I am fortunate enough not to have to raise them in such obvious poverty,

The second association was to cough! The body remembers obviously what such a huge pile of cigarettes can do to your ability to breath.

The third association what to be really grateful that for over 5 years (I’ve lost count) I haven’t had a cigarette.

Smokers always have explanations why now is not a good time to stop smoking - “I have a lot of stress at work”

“after the move”, “after the Vacation” and so on and so forth.

In this way the smoker makes sure of never having to deal with quitting…. But I have got to tell you - there is no time like now!

It will not be easier after the move, or the vacation and there will probably never be less stress at work - so really - there is no time like now!

By the way - being able to take a really deep breath and completely fill your lungs with air feels really really wonderful!
