They say "Quitting is not Easy"

 I have read several blogs that state quitting is not easy.  That may be true. If you think about it,  it is much easier to smoke than to quit. The initial quitting phase is easier than staying quit. Staying quit is what takes the work.  A quote from the "Elders" "It's what's between the ears my friend."  So as a man thinketh so is he.  So if you think it is hard then it is. ?Questions?  ..... Is it easier to live with a breathing disorder than to quit?  Is it easier to have heart complications than to quit? Is it easier to have fear of cancer than to quit? Is it easier to hide your cigarettes, stay in denial and live a lie or quit?  Is it easier to spend most of your time and money in the dr's office or quit.  Is it easier to start a healthier lifestyle or smoke. Is it easier to be controlled by a substance than to quit? Is it easier to live in an illusion or reality. Choices.  I chose FREEDOM.  Now that is easy.

Lay aside every weight that may be slowing you down. Make up your mind not to allow doubt cause you to stumble. You can do this! Do not allow fear , False Expectations Appearing Real to hold you down. You can do this! Break the chains of addiction, forgive yourself for ever smoking. move forward and start loving yourself more each day by staying smokefree. Put aside worry, anxiety, depression, any EXcuse that you would use to not get in or stay in the race of freedom. Take one day at a time, one step if necessary. Run the race diligently, steady and sure with endurance. Believe that you can. Keep your eye on the prize. Hang tough, stay close, be mindful, never give in, never give up.
