I thought I was going to be the last smoker standing. It was too difficult, I believed, for ME to quit. In my defense, there was little good information readily available for us years ago. I believed smoking was just a bad habit; I had no idea I was addicted to nicotine!
UNTIL the consequence of continuing might have been more daunting than my fear of quitting. I found a doctor whose specialties included smoking cessation (who prescribed Chantix), set a date and made a decision I was not going to smoke again NO MATTER WHAT. I found this community a few days after I quit and with it the support and information I needed. That was more than 11 years ago and smoking is something that VERY rarely comes to mind.
If I can do it, so can YOU! Freedom from addiction is liberating and worth all it takes to achieve it. I promise!
