Welcome to Quit TrainCDCB!

Sorry to hear you no longer have your wife around as a life long companion. I'm sure this makes things tougher in general for you.

I don't think the choice to quit or carry on smoking is quite as black and white as you state it to be.

Most of us here believe that quitting is of the utmost importance not only to our future health but for numerous other reasons as well like more money in our pockets and yes, the big one ........ Freedom from this addiction dictating almost every move we make on a daily basis. Yes! Freedom to do what we choose when we choose.

The other thing I would take issue with is how you see your demise from continuing to smoke. Heart attack might be one thing but there are many other illnesses that smoking promotes and some are not as kind as going out with a sudden heart attack.

Here's my final point to you. I have found that it is a pretty hard thing to do this quitting but it is doable! Aside from gaining a lot of knowledge about the addiction, a positive and strong attitude going into a quit is required to be successful long term. The difficult part of quitting does not last ongoing as you suggest. It's normally just at the beginning stages where symptoms are present. They all eventually fade away as you adjust to life as a non-smoker. I hope you reflect on these things and can see a way to look at this quitting thing more positively. Would love to be able to support you, as would others here I'm sure.
