It's What You Do

Isn't that the truth?!!  We all know how to quit smoking.  Just don't smoke.  Don't buy them.  Don't bum them.  Don't smoke.

So what's the problem? Just don't smoke.

Maybe it's simply that it's an addiction?  But we know that people recover from addictions all the time.  Again, it's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know.

So we know not to smoke and we know that we can recover from this addiction.  So what's the problem?

Maybe it's that we are the problem?  Maybe we don't have faith in our own abilities?  Maybe we don't believe in ourselves?  Maybe, just maybe, we would rather feel bad smoking than feel bad quitting?

Maybe, when we quit, we don't totally close the smoking door.  "If I fail, I'll just be smoking again and I can start another time."

You know.  You know it's time to quit.  You know you can recover.  Step forward.

Believe you can.  Have faith in yourself.  Stop feeling bad.  Quitting is the greatest gift you can give to yourself.  Yes, it will be uncomfortable.  But then it won't.  Then you will have freedom.  Then you will feel better than you have ever felt as a smoker.

I believe you can.  I have faith that you will.  And I sincerely hope that you decide to take action....because it's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know.
