Ok, I respect your decision. I guess that maybe you are younger than me.
I know that when I started smoking around 16 years old, I made a deal with myself that I didn't want to smoke past 30...
I had a very hard time to respect that deal. After many failures that I attribute to the pleasure associated with smoking. At every attempt, I was sad and depressed with the idea of not ever again experience that pleasure.
Finally, I succeeded when I was 33. It was time... Just running a mile when you smoke is terrible... Every morning, I was coughing and my lungs were hurting. That was wake-up call.
For when you are ready, if there is 1 thing that I would have wished someone to tell me to give me hope it is this:
Once you get rid of the habit, after some time, there is ZERO regret and ZERO desire to ever smoke again... This is gone for good...
So know that at the beginning, there is a lot turbulence and it is very hard but there is definitely a light at the end...
You will know when it is the time to quit for you.
Happy new year!
