Quit Smoking Nicotine and Start a New Healthy Life

Let us start with a quote and think about this for a sec...

"One thousand Americans stop smoking every day - by dying." ~Author Unknown

Ok, and here's a question for you.... What do you think is the single most important thing that helps you finally quit smoking nicotine?

Well, let's kick the door right in. I think it's will power!

I am convinced that anyone who is really determined to quit, will succeed. For instance my father was a very heavy smoker for 55 years in a row, smoking on average 2 packages a day. When he first started having health problems (he had his first heart attack after 53 years of smoking), he said "sure, I will quit, if that's going to help me".

That was just an answer he knew his doctors and his wife (my mom) wanted to hear at that moment. He wasn't really convinced of the need to quit, so he started smoking again. First secretly, then back to normal. One year later, he got his second heart attack, followed by the same promises to the doctors and his family, about his smoking habit.

Guess what happened, he didn't quit and got his third attack, again one year later in the winter. Things looked very bad right then for him. We all had many conversations with him about his smoking addiction, but we knew he had to be convinced from within himself. And finally, he made that promise to himself and his family that he would never touch another cigarette anymore. We could feel that it was different this time. That promise felt not as empty words anymore and he knew deep down inside, that this was probably it, his last chance....

So he chose to live instead of smoking. He was finally 100% determined and nothing could stop him. And yes, he succeeded to quit smoking nicotine after 55 years of heavy smoking. I think that's a great achievement after so many years. And when you look at it, the only thing that had changed this time, was his mindset about smoking.

At the time I'm writing this my dad is still alive and well. He has stopped for 12 years now, never had any serious problems with his health anymore, since the day he decided to stop smoking. Because you know what? Our body is a beautiful thing that constantly tries to heal and cure itself.

I know that if he could do it, after being seriously addicted to the smoking habit for 55 years, anyone could do it. But you have to be convinced for the full 100%, 99% is not enough. If you think you could use some guidance or help, then check out one of the links below.
