Danbrooks brutal honesty may not be what it takes to make you quit. He used medical terms and imagery which, for most reasonable people, will make them lay down those coffin nails and walk away....for a minute. The problem with cigarettes is the powerful addiction. Ok, bit of honesty here and something I'm not proud of. Back in the 80's I got into doing some illicit substances, the addictive nature of which is infamous. I lost my job and sold off everything I owned for more of the stuff. Once I was down to nothing my sister intervened and put me on a bus out of town. I never had another ounce after that, successfully quitting on my own will power. Not so with cigarettes. You can't say it's the ease of access to cigarettes because the drug I was using was and still is on virtually every corner. NO. Plain and simple, for many many people cigarettes are the most addictive thing in the world.
Why do I say all that? Certainly not to discourage you, but to let you know that you are trying to slay a monster. Don't think just because you read all these success stories and see the signature graphics of how people have been cigarette-free for x amount of time that it's somehow easy. Sure, it's easier for some than others, but some of us struggle greatly. I'm one of them. The thing is that it doesn't matter what you do, if you don't truly want to quit it ain't happening if you are one of those for whom smoking is the master. So don't pressure yourself or beat yourself up if you stumble. If you simply must have a cigarette, have one. But don't quit trying.
Certainly very inspiring.
