Yes you can! You can quit smoking. I know I did. I had smoked for 30 years and then 4 years ago I put down the cigarettes. It was hard to do, but I did it. And you can do it too. You can defeat the NicoDemon! Just ask for help. From your family, your friends, your doctor, and QuitNet.net. The men and women there are just like you. Either trying to quit or like me, former smokers. Give it a try, your lungs will love you for it!
Or 1 long year. That is how long it has been since I have had a cigarette. Not bad.
It is not hard to quit. I had done it many times before. But I was always drawn back to smoking. Not this time. It isn't that I don't want a smoke (I'll always want to smoke. It is the nature of the addiction.), it is that I WILL NOT SMOKE! I am stronger than the drug.
I discovered that what worked for me to quit was just one thing:
Will Power!
No pills, patches, or gimmicks would do the trick for me. I stuck to the plan of never buying or bumming a smoke and it worked! There were times I wanted to kill, maim or otherwise destroy people and property (A great big thank you to the HTBC [if it exists and I'm not confirming its existence or denying it.]). But I did get over it (For now.).
And now I have the satisfaction knowing that I can do something that Barack Hussein Obama doesn't have either the will power or desire to accomplish. Even with all of his resources.
For those who are contemplating or just starting out on this journey I have some words of advice:
Keep trying.
Use what ever method that helps you quit.
Have a great sense of humor.
Know that the HTBC is there to help you (If it exists and this is NOT a conformation of its existence.)
Have a support system. (I used the great people at QuitNet.Net)
And Finally, don't fear. If you try and fail, just try again, and again until you succeed you can do it. I know you can. For I did it! Just keep at it until you win.
Today and this year could be the year you finally quit. Do it for yourself, your kids, your loved ones, just do it!
