Stop Smoking

So your thinking of trying to stop smoking? I'll be 100% upfront and honest with you, it's hard to stop smoking. The hardest part of trying to stop smoking in my opinion are the habits associated with it. You wake up in the morning and it's like I need my coffee, you go outside to fire up and start smoking. Then through out the day you have those little routines when you find time to smoke. Driving in the car, after eating, walking up to the building where you work, after eating lunch, when I'm out drinking... etc. Well guess what? When you try to stop smoking, those little routines will just make your life hell!

I was fortunate that when I tried to stop smoking, I did it long enough that when I did fall off the wagon and demanded a cigarette, I smoked about half and threw up. Yep, my body made me stop smoking. Some people get to that point and force the cigarette until they can tollerate it again. For goodness sake, if you get to that point BE STRONG!! QUIT! At this point the hardest part is over.

Bottom line!!! You have to want to quit for yourself and the right reasons or you Will Not quit.
Good Luck
