I'll make this short

I see people every day talking of changing this & changing that about their lives in order to get out of the old habits that identify a reason to smoke for them. While those things are really a must please don’t forget to work on changing your mind. It’s not enough to just hate smoking, knowing you’re tired of it & staying quit. It’s not enough to be fed up. I read it in their words every day someone that secretly believes that they’ll be able to smoke again & control it after being quit for a short time. I read it in their words every day someone setting themselves up for a relapse. Every day someone is making excuses for why they should postpone their quit date or give up a quit & start killing themselves again. You must change your attitude about quitting. I’ve said it before, don’t feel that you can never smoke again…believe that you don’t HAVE to smoke again.

Get a little peace. Changing your mind will change your life.

I began this quit journey on October 1, 2004. I'm not doing it for my wife or children nor in memory of the many family members or friends I have lost due to this addiction. I'm doing it for Mike.
