I am scared too
The moment that I decided to quit was remebering holding a sick bowl in hospital that was filled with my stomach blood and bile. I couldn't keep down fluids due to diabetic Ketoasidosis and my tummy had just got rid of the only fluid left my blood. Every time I want a cig thats what I do my bet to remeber my mantra is blood and bile.
That moment is one of the scariest moments I have ever experienced, a moment of mortality. It made me think how precious this gift of life is and that I was being dumb smoking.

Fear of my heart exploding. Basically my health. There are a lot of contributing reasons but fear of the day the doc says "Your diagnosis is ............... "

I used to be in such good health. Lifting weights, lots of aerobics, all whilst maintaining a pack a day habit. About 2 years or so ago though, I started to spend more and more time sitting around. No energy, no motivation ..... smoking, drinking, sedentary. I could have just put a gun to my head and saved all the money? (kidding) Well I woke up from all that recently and decided to give it a REAL shot at quitting (again).

So - THE one thing ? It has to be my health.
