My message

You do not have to be too clever to know who I am because my mesage is the same, that it is easier to become a nonsmoker than it was to become a smoker.All smokers today believe they "quit smoking" at least once. Some "quit" for hours, days,smoking cessation, weeks, months and even years. If they are still smoking today, they didn't "quit". They only went "on the wagon".Although the average person can have an occasional drink without going on a bender, it only takes one drink for an alcoholic to fall off the wagon. To stay "on the wagon" an alcholic needs constant support and has to take a daily pledge to not drink today, and he will live in that "one day at a time" prison for the rest of his life. When an alcoholic realizes that he is no longer an alcoholic he will be free for the rest of his life.I am not knocking the need for support when you are trying to change. I am merely saying if you need that support and have to take a not one puff tody pledge after months or years of not smoking, you are still "on the wagon" and you will live in the "one day at a time" prison for the rest of your life.To become a nonsmoker you have to get rid of the misconceptions you have been brainwashed into believing about smoking.To start with, if you haven't smoked for 72 hours, you have kicked the physical addiction for smoking. That leaves the psychological addiction,stop smoking, the habit.That is my message and if you don't like the message, shoot the messenger.
