Sometimes this is so much easier said than accepted. I remember the early days of my quit. Yes, I desperately wanted to quit, but I felt like I wasn't ready to "change". I didn't know how not to be a smoker. So, I was not one of those who just quit cold turkey. I made the decision I was going to quit. I made gradual changes, and over time, I am still me - just a nicer, less stinky, healthier and happier, less anxious version! Still have my moments, no lying there. But, I made the decision to NOT have any more excuses. Was it easy - NO. Was it worth it - ABSOLUTELY!!! May you find what works for you. May you find strength from the friends you encounter on Ex - may you quit making excuses, and make the choice to change, and accept life - no more excuses!!
