| I quit smoking after thirty-three years, thanks to my brother Michael. We were both hard core smokers and had tried to quit on many occasions, but we usually went right back to it after a few days or weeks. I had just figured I would never stop. I knew it was taking a toll on my health, but it was just too difficult to give up my killer crutch. I was so addicted (had one lit and in my mouth before my feet hit the floor in the morning) that I just resigned myself to the fact that I would die prematurely from a smoking related illness. Yeah, well, something has to take you out, right? One day my brother Michael told me that he had made a promise to himself to quit smoking for good. He said he felt like a time bomb, that at some point his luck with his health was going to run out and he’d be in big trouble. He said he wanted to be around to dance at his grandchildren’s weddings. I’d heard this all before and figured his quit would last a couple of days and than he would fold and buy a pack. Fortunately, I was so wrong. Michael’s quit days turned into weeks and than months. On his one year quit anniversary, he was healthy, energetic and had gained a little over five pounds. He had traded his tobacco addiction for a workout one. I was so inspired by Michael’s accomplishment that I made a commitment to quit myself. Like Michael, I used the nicotine patch and became a health nut. I had some dark days, but I knew if my brother could take it, so could I. He was there to support me every step of the way. I’ve been smoke free for six years now and I thank my brother Michael for being a real quitter. |
