Where did your attachment to smoking come from?

"You were not born with it.

 It sprang from a lie that your society and your culture have told you, or a lie that you have told yourself, namely that without this thing called smoking you can’t be happy or live without it. 

Just open your eyes and see how false this is. The first steps to stop smoking is to break this evil chain.

I have said before the ONLY reason you are afraid to give up smoking – or make excuses to postpone the day when you will stop IS the FEAR OF HOW YOU WILL FEEL WHEN YOU STOP AND REALIZE YOU CAN'T SMOKE."

Taken from : How to quit smoking naturally...quitsmokingonline.com/course  Just sharing something I learned and identified with.

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
