Dear readers,
When Dr Johnson was asked " why don't you stop smoking", he is said to have retorted, Well, I have stopped it, stopped it several times!" This remark of Dr Johnson shows how weak is the human will while combating a deadly habit like smoking . Men start the smoking habit t mostly in their youth in order to assert their masculinity . When they realize that smoking is taking a heavy toll on their health it is already too late ! They invariably fail to stop the habit , try hard as they will. So strong is the grip of nicotin on us that we continue with the habit fully knowing that we may die an untimely death due to lung cancer!
The Struggle
The path is never smooth for any smoker who has made a resolution to stop the smoking habit once and for ever. is path is strewn with temptations . His worst enemy is procrastination ! He would invent excuse so stop the habit on some other day. In my case I would decide to stop smoking on my birth anniverasry, wedding anniversary or on New Year Day.But when the day arrived I would argue with yself " Why should I be unhappy on such an important day in my life! Several New Year Days and anniversaries flowed under the bridge but I continued with the habit ! The tendency to postpone is very common among all smokers who have resolved to stop the habit. This shows how strong is the power of nicotin on the human nervous system . Another trick I tried was to get into bet with my friends . But this also proved to be an utter fiasco . I continued to moke in secret I tried to change brands , but this did not work , either!
Just an Ordinary Day
I finally decided to stop smoking just on an ordinary day , some 20 years ago . It was not an important day ,just ne of the 365 days in the year! Every time the temptation grew in me I would say to myself , " I am not going to smoke , come what may! " As days passed the temptation grew stronger and stronger, but my determination also grew stronger and stronger!
The Turning Point
There is a turning point in the life of every ex-smoker. This moment comes when he experiences the benefit of having stopped the deadly habit He is then set firmly on the path . and temptation will no longer trouble him . . The change in my physical appearance became the ttalk of the college . I was filled with a new optimism when I realized that I could make possible which many consider as impossible
I wish you all success if you are trying to stop the smoking habit
