Article/Repost: The Successful Quitter

[quote]

The successful quitter finds ways to protect and safeguard their primary
motivations so that they remain robust, alive and available at a moment's
notice to fuel the patience needed to transition this temporary period of
adjustment called "quitting." The intelligent quitter's strategy combines
an understanding of the law of addiction - one puff of nicotine equals
relapse - with well-protected core motivations.

The successful quitter does not try to forget what their health was like
while smoking, what it felt like to be controlled, the growing sense of
becoming a social outcast, or that feeling as we stood at the tobacco
counter and paid our hard earned money to purchase the more than 4,000
chemicals contained in each cigarette that would slowly destroy our body and
mind. The successful quitter keeps such memories - and others - in the
forefront of their mind as honest reminders and motivations to fuel their
dreams and desires.

The intelligent quitter realizes that if they allow their motivations to die
that it is very possible their freedom and healing will die along with them.
The intelligent quitter finds ways to fuel their motivations, just one day
at a time, through study, understanding, education, skills development,
critical observation and honesty. They know that they are 100% guaranteed
to continue free today if they'll only maintain and protect their original
day #1 genuine desires to ... Never Take Another Puff!
