WHAT MOTIVATES ME ? Life , My friends and family . I want to enjoy my time with them and make it last as long as possible . Not be tied to a oxygen bottle . I want to play with the grand babies . Watch them grow , Go to their sporting events and cheer not cough . See them grow into fine young adults and maybe if I am lucky see them begin their own family . I love my life , my family , my friends that is what motivates me . WHAT KEEPS ME IN THE GAME ? Everyday I see and feel improvement in all ways , MY body , my smell , the way i breath . the way food really taste now that i can really taste it . these things and a will to live . WHAT HELPS ME PUSH FURTHER , The distance I have come , shows me I am strong than a bad habit . knowing I am in control of my life , and the quality of it is up to me helps me to keep going and never look back . HAVE I FOUND MY MOTIVATION YET , Yes , In the faces of those I love and those who love me . Every time i look in a mirror and see that I am proud of myself and what I have accomplished . MY THOUGHTS AND WHAT I WISH TO SHARE . My friends I smoked full flavor for 35 years , and one day I made a choice , I wanted to quit . I was the only smoker in our home and I knew how my wife though hating the smell , what it was doing to me , She put up with it all those years . So not only did I owe it to myself , i owed it to my life partner . I want you the reader to know , You can beat this habit that is killing and destroying our bodies , lungs , skin , taste buds , it has a effect on every part of our bodies and the facts are , There is NOT a single benefit to smoking . It does nothing at all but harm . Friend you can beat this , You are stronger than a puff of smoke . I am on day 319 of my freedom , it's your turn to break free and join me and the thousands of others who now enjoy a smoke free life . Gadget044/ Billy H
