stop smoking program

often people with a chemical dependency find it very easy to point to external circumstances as the cause of their problem. While this is an understandable coping mechanism, not responsible for the addiction, it is virtually impossible to succeed against the habit.

I have a lot of people who ...

Probably would not have started smoking in the first place, if their older brother had not smoked.

The good news is that because the problem is first and foremost, it is in your power to change and stop smoking. I commend you, as much support from other people if you because of your smoking cessation program, but in the end you alone can be held accountable for the success you seek.

We can help in self-help, motivational books, audios, and even nicotine replacement therapy aids and hypnosis. But ultimately it is you who will be the result of efforts to stop smoking, as I found the result of my program a few years ago, stopped smoking, when I last time
