Your Mounting Stress Factor

Sometimes the stress of having to quit, is more than you can even bear.  It seems like the world is against you, and you get really sad thinking about how much you have let your friends, family and most of all, yourself down by being a smoker. 

This is not an uncommon train of thought.  Often, we do not communicate correctly to smokers.  We send you messages of health concerns, cost analysis and comparisons, and death scares.

The reality is, that the more you try and reason with this addiction, the worse you make it.  The image at the right is ridiculous, as it is not possible.  The only reason you die, is because we all are meant to eventually die.  And, no skeleton would ever smoke.

So, let's for one, stop the stress of the health scares, and the crazy propaganda that the tobacco companies and the government create.  They do not insist that you quit, they simply try the stress of scaring you into submission.  This will never get you into a non-smoking frame of mind.


The only way to quit, is to really want to make it happen.  When you are ready to live up to your own expectations in life, and become who you want to be, then you are ready to quit.  Do not quit smoking, just work on your mindset to get there, and stay calm.  It is going to be OK.  Once you make that decision, you are already there!  It just takes some patience, calm, and your willingness to be a new person.
