Have you ever noticed how you can be totally fired up about never smoking again when you lie down to go to bed, and then the next morning you wake up as if the thought of quitting never entered your mind?

It’s like you get up ready to start yet another day of puffing yourself into the grave and don’t even stop to think about all the motivation you had the day before. What give?

It’s called addiction, and nobody really understands how the hell it works.  Sure I’ve seen numerous explanations all charted out with an overview of which sections of the brain are affected, and I’ve heard many a spill about how an addiction attaches itself to our survival instincts and hides deep within our unconcious minds and blah blah blah…

But the truth is being addicted is just a horrible anomaly that science has yet to get a full grip on. So it’s up to YOU to take responsibility and just get a hold on your own thought patterns here.

Smoking is a serious liability, both from a health and a financial perspective. If you plan to stop successfully, you MUST find a system that works.

Write down all of your thoughts at night when you are highly motivated and look at that paper first thing out of bed in the morning.

Find a strong support group and make yourself get to the meetings. If you aren’t willing to really commit you’re as good as dead, and you’ll end up blowing thousands of dollars over the course of your life on the slow death you have chosen.
