Choices & Consequences

[Reciprocity]

Our lives are often a reflection of the choices we have made along the way. I chose to smoke for decades, to the detriment of my health and wealth. Two years ago I chose to quit smoking mostly to stop the harmful effects of smoking on my health. 

 

Just recently I took the money I saved from not having to buy cigarettes for just this past year and spent that on a Caribbean Cruise and enriched my life by visiting 5 places I had never been to. This was a consequence I got to choose because I had quit smoking. You may choose something different. Doesn't matter. The point is YOU get to choose the consequence - not your addiction!

Didn't hurt that I escaped the bitter cold for a while either. Here's a couple of pics of my trip:

Had I chose to continue smoking 2 years ago the best consequence of that choice would have been standing outside in the freezing cold getting my hourly fix.

 

The worst consequence of that choice might have been this?

 

Put the choices for your future back in your hands. Choose to quit for good! There are so many benefits from choosing to quit. Temporary discomfort in the beginning is a small price to pay to get back your freedom!

Fantastic! 

I smoked my last cigarette 10:30 PM January 5, 2018. I smoked for 37 years.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It wasn’t even my brand LOL.  It was one I bummed from my wife because I intentionally left mine at home.

I chose to quit for more reasons than one. Money was one of them. You’re right, a few days of discomfort is well worth the reward.

I chose to purchase some new home entertainment equipment with the money I’ve saved from quitting.

Quitting nicotine is by far, hands-down the most significant thing I’ve ever done for myself in this life.

Cigarettes did nothing for me. They took away my time, my money and my health.
