...I gave myself the gift of life. I let go of the cigarettes.  I had built up this idea in my head that quitting smoking was going to be the hardest thing to do. It was tough at times but it was doable.  There are so many harder things a person has to survive.  YES YOU CAN quit smoking.  Keep your thoughts positive.  You are truly giving yourself the gift of life by putting them down and walking away. Reinforce your commitment daily, hourly or every minute if you need to, but make sure you are firm in your heart that smoking is no longer a part of you. Always remember what brought you to the realization that you no longer want to smoke.  I personally have a terrible fear of suffocating.  I will never forget how it felt to wake up every morning coughing and choking.  Never Again! NOPE!
