I would like to part with the secret of my success after some 40 years plus of enjoying rollups every 20 minutes where possible. Yes, I was addicted and knew it.
Some 20 years ago now and after the deaths of my wife and children I had the earnest desire to quit smoking. Please remember the words earnest desire. I remember standing in the kitchen thinking of my daughter's birthdate which was to be the following day. She had died at the age of eleven and her name was Karen. I decided at that moment I would make a pledge to HER that I would give up smoking in her name because I had no excuse not to - especially as she could not have prevented her own genetic death. I 'said ' to her, " My dearest daughter - I am giving up smoking tomorrow in your name. And, that if I fail, I will feel
that I will have let you down so very badly but, if I ever feel a weakening, I will draw upon the love that you gave me as my child and know that I WILL win this battle."
Obviously I succeded or I would not be talking to you here today.
The advice that I always give to anyone wanting to give up smoking - is that there are two requisites if wanting to achieve their goal and they are 1) they must possess the EARNEST DESIRE and, 2) that they should pick a mentor to accompany them especially someone they love and respect or, as in my case, to use the soul of a deceased loved one.
Yes, you can do it.
