 I looked for inspiration to help me stop smoking for years. Have you ever felt that you were a special case, it was much more difficult for you to give up smoking than anyone else? Other people could survive for a couple of days without a smoke then relapse, I honestly thought I couldn't get even that far.
I literally built up to my quit for years, it sounds pathetic but I never even had the nerve to try and quit smoking yet I though about it all the time. I was the master of excuses, how many of these have you used ?
I'll just wait until after my holidays, so I don't spoil the break
I'll just wait until I've got over this stressful situation at work and then I'll quit
I'll just wait until the winter is over so I can get out and about more and then I'll quit
I'll just take a few days/months/years to get in the right frame of mind and then...
Well you get the picture, I was great |

 Smoking is addictive and life threatening, but that does not stop millions of men and women from sneaking a puff in times of stress and anxiety. According to the latest statistics from The American Heart Organization, there are an estimated 25.9 million men and 20.7 million women who are smokers.
Scary statistics? Yes they were meant to be! And you don't get off that easy! If you are a smoker you aren't just damaging your own health with your habit, but it's also affecting your family members, friends, and colleagues who have to deal with inhaling your secondary cigarette smoke. People who breathe in secondary smoke from smokers are called passive smokers, and are equally susceptible to different types of cancers caused by the smoke.
So don't you think its time to stop smoking? Smoking no longer enjoys any social acceptance, and you are more likely to be labeled a pariah for it. Excuses wont do. It's going to be difficult, and you might lose hope and start the habit again, but unless you try, you wont succeed. You don't have to be |
