I admit, I have a problem, and I need help.
So I have this problem. It’s called cigarettes. I realize that I really need to quit if I a) want to be healthy, b) if I want to have more money, and c) if I don’t want to limit my dating opportunities (yes, rather emo of me, I know). Today I wanted to quit, but a little voice inside my head took over and caused me to go out and buy another pack.
I know that the responsibility for quitting rests squarely on my shoulders, but I don’t know if I can do it. But I have to do it. I just have to.
Again I turn to Tony Robbins for inspiration. “How long would you give your average baby to walk, before you cut them off and stopped making them try?” The answer is “as long as it takes”. As adults we seem to have learned to stop before we’ve achieved our goals. We’ve learned not to succeed at what we want to do. We should all take a page from parenting and continue working until we’ve succeeded.
I could really use some support, some people to check in with to make sure I’ve stuck to my guns and haven’t abandoned my own quest for tar-free lungs. Anybody want the job?

Good luck! If I can actually help in any way, I’d be glad to pitch in

I’ve been helping people give up smoking for over 19 years now… let me know if I can do anything…

My husband is a smoker, and he has tried to quit so many times, but he gives up due to stress. He gets stressed out and starts again. I know from watching him that quiting is really hard to do. I wish I had some sort of wisdom to pass on that would help you quit but I have nothing. I wish you luck.
