Have you ever explored your thoughts and feelings about what is keeping you from quitting? You have reasons to smoke and if you are reading this blog you have reasons to quit. What are these reasons? Contemplating on your life, your values, and checking to see if smoking fits in with these basic attributes that make you who you are.
Many times we are ambivalent about changes, especially important changes like quitting tobacco. If we explore these thoughts and feelings it becomes easier to have a thought out decision based on core values, instead of just going along and making a decision by not deciding... just continuing the statis quo. I would encourage you to make a list either with pen and paper or taking a quiet moment and comtemplating your future and what you want it to look like.
When you reach the time and place when you decide to quit I hope you will look to your strengths especially the strengths you demonstrated when you made earlier quit attempts. What are the things that worked before and why did you try before are both important questions to ask at that time. Look at your values and life style and change in ways that will reflect who you are and who you want to be. I know you can find the strength to quit.
