~~You are important and you matter.  Your feelings matter.  Your voice matters.  Your story matters.  Your life matters.  Always.~~  Unknown

Still here tonight?  Looking through the site hoping for the magical formula for a successful quit?  Guess what?

It's you.  You are the magic formula.  You are the answer.  You are the key.

Value yourself.  Honor yourself.  Take care of yourself.  When you smoke, you not only don't do that but you CAN'T to that.  Smoking is about feeding an addiction, period.  It's selfish and self-destructive and pathetic.

You deserve so much better.  You ARE so much better.  You only have to clear the smoke to see the real you.  You have to uncloud your mind and uncloud your body and uncloud your judgment. 

And when you do that, you begin to understand that you are important.  That your life has meaning far above what your addiction ever allowed you to believe.  You will begin to like yourself.  Your smile, your smell, your talents.  You will begin to value yourself.  Your time, your money, your habits. 

You are the key to your quit.  Push past the fear.  Go through the craves and the changes and the recovery.  Know that while it won't be easy, you can do it.  You have to do it because no one can do it for you.

Know that you can.  Be your own hero.  Be your own best friend.  And know you have it in you to quit.

Peace to all this lovely evening, Sheri
