“Words have power. What you are telling yourself is very important in life as in quitting smoking. Anyone who knows me understands that I hardly ever use the word struggle. I prefer to replace it with the word challenge. Which sets your mind up to be willing to meet the challenge.”

“As I approach 2 years smokefree, I realize I had an excuse for every cigarette… sad, upset, anxious, stressed out, angry, it helps me relax…

I ask everyone to look at their excuses. If you look hard enough most excuses have emotion behind them. Emotions are not meant to be excuses for habit or bad behavior. Emotions are part of being human. They are to be expressed and dealt with appropriately.

I think it is important to recognize why we are smoking. It is not just a bad habit or addiction. There are other things behind it. In my quit it has been helpful to be honest with myself.

So, I ask you to look at yourself and question yourself about your smoking. Then work on the reason behind your smoking. I wish great success. I know you can do it.”
