Treat the Earth well:
it was not given to you by your parents,
it was loaned to you by your children.
We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors,
we borrow it from our children.
-ancient indian proverb

5 Steps To A Successful Quit
1. Decide to quit.
2. Quit.
3. Commit to your quit.
4. Keep your quit.
5. Live your quit each and every day.

Sounds so simple, right?

I won't say it is easy, but the end of the journey is so worth the trials and effort to get it done.

Ask for help before you light it up anytime you need to. You have many friends here that want to help you along the way and see you succeed.

Travel well my friends.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
