Quitting

We had a brief chat about smoking and how that lead to an addiction to nicotine.  Now let's talk about quitting.

The dictionary has two definations that apply here (1) discontinue: put an end to a state or an activity, and (2) foreswear: turn away from; give up.

To see ourselves without smoking is not such a hard thing.  To actually become smoke free requires a most difficult journey.You cannot turn away from smoking without pain and tribulation.

The commitment to quit is not to be made lightly.  What you are about to go through needs some thread to hang on to.  Having a smoke is so easy compared to riding the craving out. 

Some call it will power.  It does not matter what the name is.  You will have to stay the course.  You will have to become a quitter.

So.......are you ready to quit smoking?  Are you now?   You are going to give that hag secratary her walking papers.  Congratulations.  If you are someone who has smoked all their adult life you are fixing to make life a great deal better.
You are going to turn off the feel good chemicals that nicotine puts in your system.  Your body is not going to like that.
