Smoking

   To cease smoking is the easiest thing.... I ought to know I've done it hundreds of times.  How many of you can relate to that statement?  Not sure which is more difficult....quitting smoking or quitting drugs.  The biggest difference I suppose is that drugs are more detrimental to your well-being than cigarettes.  Although cigarettes are bad for your health, they are not detrimental to your well-being.  I just ran into someone this morning who had quit smoking in October and was puffing again.  He says stress made him light up.  His dog jumped out of the window.  Not sure how stressful that is, but he obviously thought it was.  We can all make excuses to light up again after quitting.  Apparently, when you start up again, you were not really ready to quit in the first place.
    Quitting smoking is an extremely difficult task to complete.  To all of you thinking about it...give it try.  The rewards are great.  My motivation for not lighting up again is I remember how difficult the first few weeks of quitting were and I do NOT want to go through that again.
   Good luck to all who have quit to remain smoke free and to all who are willing to try again.
  Have a great day.  BE YOUR BEST SELF!!!!!
