quiting cigarettes

Kicking any sort of addiction can be viewed as a triumph of the will. A very wise person once put it to me this way "You got yourself into this mess. Now be a man and get yourself out." Worked for me. It is basically a question of making up your mind that you are willing to accept a certain amount of pain for tremendous long term gain. Make it as easy as you can for yourself but do it. Trust that your bodies ability to repair itself is a slow but reliable process. Say yes to health, and the discipline that it requires. People have done a lot more difficult things than quiting cigarettes.
