A great quote

You can change yourself and you can change the situation but you absolutely cannot change other people. Only they can do that.

I want to change myself....I've been a cigarette smoker since I was 13 I'm almost 45! My New Years Resolution is to quit smoking! Yes I know I will fall off of the band wagon time and time again, but I will dust myself off and try and try again until it get's easier and easier until I stop!!! If and I hope God Himself will help me, that I do quit, may it be a forever thing and to never ever pick up this filthy habit ever again!!! I know it will get worse before it get's better, and I know my bad COPD cough will get worse before it get's better too, but I need this!! So help me God!! I want to change!!

@saintsong

The only way it'll work is your mental strength & only if you deep down want to quit
There are resourses available depending where you live that should help you quit
You'll need to understand what triggers your need to smoke & either eliminate or avoid those situations

Good luck
