    Today is my quit date.  I don't like to smoke and will try to resist.  I have tried many times, but without success.  This time, I have intention.  I am quitting for my health, energy levels and finances.  I am tired of walking with the devil and want purity.  I will do the best I can to use my means.  I willl reach out when I need help.  I am throwing away my pack and the remaining cigarettes I have.  With my Higher Power, I trust that I will leave this unhealthy habit and starve the nicotine monster within.  In 2 months, it would have been my deceased mother's birthday, so I will give myself this time period objective to stay quit.

    Hi franny,

    Good for you for deciding to quit smoking.  It is one of the best decisions you could ever make.  Try to avoid triggers, and keep yourself distracted.  And it's a good idea to make a list of all of the reasons you want to quit.  Keep the list handy so you can look at it whenever the going gets tough.  Believe in yourself, because you are stronger than your addiction, and you can beat it.  And we will all be here to help you.
