Freedom - Smoking Cessation Message Board

True Brit · 03-01-2007, 11:34 AM

Of all the reasons we say we want to quit and the benefits we discover when we finally quit the greatest one for me has to be FREEDOM.

Freedom from drug addiction
Freedom from wondering where we can smoke
Freedom from worrying about the health risks
Freedom from feeling we are offending everybody when we light up
Freedom from inhaling over 4000 chemicals
Freedom from feeling like a social outcast.
Freedom from wasteing money
Freedom from smelling like an ashtray
Freedom from the stress of not being allowed to smoke in public places.

Most of us on these boards will have smoked our entire adult lives and probably have no memory of what it was like to be free. Well, if things get tough I remind myself just how much I LOVE MY FREEDOM

Oh that is so real TrueBrit... (Big sigh of relief here...)

Freedom from carrying the ash tray all over the house.
Freedom from spending an extra $280 for cigarettes each month.
Freedom from having to smoke out side in the rain and snow.
Freedom from washing out ash trays.
Freedom from having to make room for the ash trays.
Freedom from having to juggle a cigarette with the umbrella and briefcase in the rain.
Freedom from that damned ash tray. (Use to follow me every where...)

Sorry for the rant. This is a truly liberating thread you've started.

Thank you!!!
