I BELIEVE:
by Titotiger

I Believe that quitting smoking is the single most important thing a person can do for their overall health and to improve their odds against the 4 greatest killers; heart disease, cancer, stroke, and C.O.P.D.

I Believe everyone has the ability to quit smoking as long as they want to quit more than they want to smoke.

I Believe a positive mental attitude (I CAN) and determination (I WILL) are the 2 most important characteristics of winners and that both I CAN and I WILL mindsets are necessary to quit smoking successfully.

I Believe you must  No Matter What mentality to be successful because I don`t believe in excuses.

I Believe you need to have courage to quit. I Believe courage is not the absence of fear, but rather gutting it out and confronting the thing that you fear.

I Believe you don`t have to quit for forever, you just have to quit for today. And I Believe that if you can quit for just 1 day, than you can quit for forever.

I Believe that Triumph is just `Try` with a little `Umph` added.

I Believe the Q and the people on the Q are that little `Umph.` I Believe that nowhere else will you receive the education, motivation and support that you receive right here on the Q, however..

I Believe that the best helping hand available is at the end of your own arm. I Believe your success is entirely up to you.

I Believe everyday you remain smoke-free is a miracle.

I Believe that you can become a miracle and I Believe I`ll..

See You At The Top

About the Author
Smoker of 28 years . COPD recipient . My biggest help to quit was to read other successful quitters testimony . I’ll have a thirteen years quit June 30 , 2024 . Biggest lesson learned : I learned the “Just one” lesson . You can never have just one .It is the the key to everyone’s quit . Having “ none” is the easy way to quit smoking . Quit tools : Made use of my strengths and improved upon my weaknesses . Quit benefits , more time with my family , better quality of life , better self image . How I kept the quit : one day at a time , one step at a time . I told myself like a broken record : “ Don’t smoke ; Do something different “ then literally went and did something different other than smoking “ . Quitting is not complicated , nope is it , however it will be the process of self discovery for you to find that out for yourself . How long will that be ? Up to you . We are all different and we come from different backgrounds and smoked for different reasons so no one can really tell you when it will get easier for you only that it will . Be patient with yourself . Who cares how long it takes anyway because we all came to quit forever . This quit is for life , your life , so embrace it , welcome it , it’s the best thing you will ever do for yourself . The money you save get a bucket list of little rewards and big ones and do them . Change the things you can . Life is worth living . This gets easier , oh my gosh , so much much easier . Give it a season , give it two and you’ll never want to let go of your quit I promise you that . It’s wonderful , absolutely wonderful to be free . Quitting btw was the hardest thing I’ve ever done just like everyone here . I shed buckets of tears for weeks , yelled into a pillow , stuck my head into a cold bucket of water and paced aimlessly in head fog . Was it worth it , every bit of it ! Biggest improvement : , my health , the relationship with my family ( all non smokers thank goodness ) and finances . When I started 2011. I was walking three blocks with the use of inhalers for copd . Latest accomplishment : still on the inhalers no further advancement of copd . June 1 2023. Did my first 10 k . Next goal is my second 10k by the end of 2024 . I’m 68 years years young and I’m an Ex smoker . I was able to take three trips ( out of country ) with my family because I quit smoking . Time I never would have had had I not quit . Money from quitting paid for them . I want to say you are in control , take your power back from cigarettes from vaping or any addiction you might have . Life awaits you , don’t let it pass you by . Make the decision to stop and one day that light will shine upon you and make you a whole new you . Thank you to Quitnet members and Ex members for the support and encouragement to quit and stay quit . That along with my desire never to smoke again has given me a life long successful quit . No turning back , ever .
