“I Quit Smoking For Good!!”
“A Proven Personalized Approach For My Successful Quit!”

INTRO! A Day in The Life of Smokers Like Us.
The only thing that will prevent the devastating effects is to begin and complete a Quit!
Although smoking may provide us with immense pleasure, it comes at a price, a very high price, and it just costs too much!
If we are to reach our goal of a smoke free life and minimize the many losses and costs, we cannot continue to do the same things over and over. We MUST make a CHANGE.
Quit Smoking Forever!
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”
Conquer your ADDICTION, Overcome Your Obstacles, Change Your Habits, & Minimize Your Costs.
HABITS
There is a real power in repeated actions, and when we do things over and over, those actions become habits. Habits are powerful, and they work through what is called the habit loop where first there is a CUE. Next, there is the usual ROUTINE, and then there is the REWARD.
COSTS
The Financial, Social, and Health costs are just too high! We may feel the financial costs the most mainly because we are aware of when the bills in our wallets are no longer there. However, the health costs affect not only our quality of life but our very lives!
CHANGE
If we are to reach our goal of a smoke free life and minimize the many losses and costs, we cannot continue to do the same things over and over. We MUST make a CHANGE. It reminds me of buying a new pair of shoes, uncomfortable at first, but necessary.
CHOICES
These are my thoughts that led to my decision to Quit! Forever!! The HEALTH costs led me to make that huge decision to stop smoking. Do I want to smoke, or do I want to breathe?
About My Journey to QUIT SMOKING FOREVER!
I am a healthcare provider, and in my profession, I have seen so many examples of the effects of smoking, and the lack of any quality of life was a constant reminder that I could end up in that same situation if nothing changed! The people who showed me what my future may look like appeared sick with ashen colored skin from the lack of oxygen, and they likely will have small tubes in their nose supplying them with oxygen because their lungs are no longer able to function adequately. The productive cough is always present, and they have no energy to enjoy the life they have. As I sat at my computer one day, I had a talk with myself and gave myself a choice. I thoroughly enjoy smoking as I’m sure you do, so I could either continue to enjoy this habit or I could continue to breathe! I couldn’t have both. There was no real choice!
I had made my decision to Quit! Forever!! Now! How do I do that?
Having made that decision, I tried several different ways which took several attempts. I was going to quit smoking after having major surgery, but instead I tried to limit how many I smoked and even switched to small cigars so maybe I would not inhale. Yeah! Right! I wasn’t closing that door completely and realized that I was still exposing myself to the suffocating smoke that I wanted so badly to remove from my life! In another attempt, I tried keeping my hands busy with embroidery and playing the piano so that I wouldn't pick up a cigarette, but I found it easy to smoke at the same time.
Next, I thought that maybe if I substituted something for the cigarette that it would satisfy having something in my mouth. I went to a local store and bought suckers, but I found myself eating them quickly and not receiving any satisfaction. That didn’t work either. Nothing was working, and I was beginning to feel that it was hopeless! I still wanted to remove smoking from my life and had to find a way to help me reach that goal.
I sat down and asked myself. “What do I need?” From there, being a former math major, I developed a strategy and designed a way that allowed me to QUIT! smoking FOREVER!!
