After Quitting



 If you're planning to quit smoking for New Year's, this week's newsletter is filled with material to help you get started.

Spotlight articles offer 12 tips to make 2014 the year you put smoking behind you forever and information on how to prepare for success with smoking cessation.

Russell's story is a two-part series in which Russell writes out his reasons for quitting and has a discussion with the nicotine junkie that lives within as he prepares to quit smoking. Read his account and then consider writing out your own list of reasons. It's a great way to solidify resolve and is a tangible reminder of why you're doing this when you have a bad day.

Take a deep breath and get started! You have every bit as much ability to quit smoking as the next person. Believe in yourself, be willing to do the work to shed this addiction and the rest will fall into place.
