What Makes A Quit?

TheOldGoat-Joan
8 9 140

Is it willpower? NAAAAAAH! Some magic formula? NAAAAAAAAH!

What makes a quit succeed then???

How about ...

COMMITMENT

DEDICATION

ATTITUDE (QUITITUDE)

and most of all, LOVE

Love for your family and yourself. Dedication to the task you have set for yourself. The attitude that you will succeed. Lastly, commitment to the decision to throw away what is taking years away from your life.

Those are the weapons you need to beat the addiction to nicotine.

Just my thoughts, right or wrong....

Keep them away from your face. You can't smoke them that way!!!

Thank you my dear friend for these words of wisdom. I can see where each of these things would have a part in quitting.

"Dedication to the task you have set for yourself.  The attitude that you will succeed".....More words to put in my phone when the nicodemon is screaming at me, pulling my hair......I will look at this, along with the other wise pharses I've been collecting here....

I've always liked goats : )

OldBones-Larry‌   I get tears in my eyes every time you post one of Joan's blogs. I think it is so wonderful how you keep her alive in this community. That is how we all go on after we die......when someone from the living...takes our memory and our gifts into the future.

Bless you Larry.  I am sure Joan is blessing you.
