I refuse to ever smoke again. I have a 4 year old son and want to be around for him, the last thing I want is to be stuck in a hospital bed, dying of cancer while my son sits home asking mommy why he can't see daddy, and if daddy is ever coming back home. Do it for youself, do it for your family Just do it Good post, I am 29 and have been smoking for 15 years, today is the 2nd day that I have not smoked a cigerette, I am sick and tired of being controlled by a drug, it pisses me off that a cigerette can control my body and mind to this degree.

Three things helped my quit: Daily reading at www.whyquit.com, deep breathing (in the car, at work, before bed, in the morning) and a two-mile walk before work (30 minutes of my time on a trail near the house). Walking is low impact & extremely healthy (not to mention good breathing & good old fashioned quiet time to yourself). The website really made a difference for me. Hope this helps someone!

That brought back the memory of how I gave up smoking. It really click into your ideas of 'small starts - big results'. So much so that after ten years of being cigarette free I've actually written up what I did. That approach proved to be very successful for quitting cigarettes. So I'll be reviewing other habits to stop/start and use the ''The Power of Less'. I think in most other parts of my life, I make things too complex or focus on too many things at one time. Thanks again Hi Zen
