Will You Be A Willing Quitter Or A Fighting Quitter?

[JonesCarpeDiem]

A willing quitter stands back and looks objectively at what they are up against and their objective.

A willing quitter accepts that there will be some discomfort before they reach their goal.

A willing quitter learns to turn the thought of smoking away and understands there is no enemy just acceptance.

A fighting quitter never lets go of smoking.

A fighting quitter white knuckles their quit.

A fighting quitter eventually gets tired of fighting.

You are so right.  11 years ago, I hired a physician to help me quit.  I did patches and saw him in the office weekly.  I could call him when I was freaking out which was pretty much daily.  After 3 months, decreasing patches, off nicotine, I guess I just couldnt fight any longer.  There was a foot of snow outside.  I chipped away the ice and snow off my car and drove to the store and bought a CARTON. Because of you and this site I am a willing quitter this time and I am out of NML today.  God bless you Dale, for all the good you do.  I will never forget you and your generosity.

I love this post! I find that one day I am a "willing quitter" & the next I am a "fighting quitter". As the days go by, I am working on being a "willing quitter" more consitently. I will come to this post when I feel my position slip. Thanks Dale

I am a willing quitter that is why this is my forever quit.  Being a fighting quitter always lead me back to smoking.  Once again Dale, great blog.

So, so true! I decided from the get go - because of the wise words here - to not use will power and fight things! Willing is the way to go!
