How is everything?

I am facing a hard time on controlling my mind. Struggling to give up smoking. Failing to manage my work and personal life. The sad thing is I know it is possible to do all those things. But my mind is so hard to control. Self-control is so tough.

Quitting smoking or any addiction, for that matter, is actually one of the hardest things any human being can ever do. And most people who do quit eventually relapse.

As far as this is concerned, don't be that hard on yourself.

@Trevo It feels disappointing you know, when I decide to give up smoking and then go outside, and buy a pack again.

@Disturbed12 well, understandably so it is. You can do it, but it's important to to know that it won't be easy .

I tried to help someone to quit ( or at least reduce) smoking and it's very hard. They used to smoke almost a pack a day, and I was to make sure they'd only smoke 4-6 cigarettes. At the end of the day they'd end up smoking as much and they'd want. But I know they can't help it, they'd be better off not smoking but this they know too. It's just hard.

@Trevo Thanks for sharing. I will just try my best and won't regret if I am not able to do it. But eventually I will be successful, I hope.

@Disturbed12 I hope too. You're welcome.
