11 March of 2011, Friday, 12 o'clock am. (I just need about 17 hours to my birthday.... )
that I decided with a little med help to quit smoking.

I lighted on my last cigar, and thoughts of my grandpa came in my mind. He died a few years ago from cancer, even without having smoked one cigar his entire life. He was in a coma for 6 months and I was with him when he "left". My loved grandpa... Suffered soooo much....
Then I thought about my father who was diagnosed with a early(possible)-cancer condition and doctor asked him to quit it, but he didn't. He still is on high risk.
I thought about my economic situation as an unemployment that I couldn't pay any more for my personal "cancer".
Yes... I thought of smoking as my future cancer. It was my future cancer. The 13 years that I smoked may still be my future cancer. I've seen what cancer does to people. I see it every single day in my family. I didn't want to put my life in such a great danger any more.
I'm still young... I want to have kids, live with my partner until we both get really old...
I gained weight, I lost my weight... and now...
Here I am!! First time in my life exercising for 9 continuous months, being now able to jog for 10 kilometres, trying to make other people to quit... cancer!

Good luck to all of you!!!!! I've done it. You can do it too!

PS. I will never smoke again... and I know it!

    You are such an inspiration!:flowerforyou:
    I really admire you for what you've achieved and want to follow your example. I am 4 months quit now and remember very well when I was so desperate because of the hunger pangs. You were the one to raise my mood and my will power again. Thank you so much.
    We will never even :smokin: again.
    You are so right: we are able to eat and exercise for our future selves so we can stay quit for our future health and not feed our future cancer. Hats off to you:flowerforyou:
