Ah... The Drill Sergeant returns.
You know, some take Golferman's posts to be tough, direct, and some even get really ticked off by them. But I must admit that a lot of the posts like the one above is what helped me to develop the determination I needed to quit.
You reminded me that in the very beginning I was consumed with my quit. My entire world revolved around the quit and that is what it took. My school projects were about my quit, my work waited and suffered for my quit, my relationships suffered for my quit. The quit was the number one priority in my life. Now I find that because of that time out for my quit, I became a better student, my relationships improved, my work has improved and I have even been promoted on my job. In other words, you may think you can't put life on hold for your quit but guess what, get your quit going and then your life will fall into place.
It is a struggle, there are no magic pills, there are no shots, no clicking of heels are going to get you quit. Time without smoking is the only way to get over smoking. Each time you light a cigarette you start the process all over again.
One fact you left out Joe...
Fact: Smoking will Kill you!
