Some people are not READY

When I tell smokers, I quit the consensus is "I need to Quit"and then some would just look at me with a smirk. and then I say to myself, I am humble about my quit and even though people will justify why they continue to smoke? just listen to them, and suggest to them "You will know when you are ready to quit, and you have to do it for yourself"Because we were them, so never judge them, because I remember when I was about 25yrs old, about 10yrs ago, and a lady on Oxgyen in a wheel chair saw me puffing away, said beautiful lady if you know what I know, you would not smoke, I looked at her with a blank stare, so we can not judge, but we can be here and encourage others when they are ready.You have to educate, have a plan(triggers), and do it for yourself, when you are just plain tired of smoking. This is DOABLE, i FEEL THIS IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING IN MY QUIT..When I see smokers, I just say man, that used to be me...I am glad I put my pride down and embraced the unknown, and became completely Vulnerable, to allow my self to Quit smoking and as my journey continues down the unknown path but all to familiar path as a non-smoker,Herbal cigarettes, I started smoking at 18 yrs old, and I smoked for 19 yrs, with stopping when I was pregnant in between there 5 years ago,quit smoking now, this is my longest quit, almost 5 months. and I do not know if any of you feel this... But I am doing things that I used to do in my teens as a non-smoker, that I enjoy, like writing, journaling and more of my creative juices are coming out since I quit... I love it!Smoking robbed me of so much, my physical energy, mental energy etc.I love it
