For those just starting their smoke free journey . . .
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Get your army boots on, this is a war!
So great to know that you are taking this journey to be smoke-free for the rest of your life! We`re so happy that you have found us here at this support site. We have all come here by various channels. Some of us stumbled in here and others were guided in here. Either way there are thousands of us that have been helped by being in this community and most importantly, being a part of this community. You`re decision to join will benefit not only you but all of us as well. So take your seat and stay awhile; your smoke free journey begins.
Your decision to quit smoking is really a decision to go to war. You are going to fight an enemy that has been seeking to destroy you, both your body and mind! You came to realize, for whatever your personal reasons, that now is the time to put a stop to this slow death sentence.
In any combat you must come prepared if you wish to succeed. Of course you need the burning desire to come out a winner. You must never doubt the outcome. You must never wish for an outcome. You must never rely on others for the outcome. You must be sure of the outcome! You must go in with the attitude that failure is not an option! You will win this battle as a personal success story!
Another component necessary for a successful combat is planning! You must know your enemy. You must know about all the weapons your enemy has at his disposal. You must know all the possible strategies your enemy may use to see you defeated. You must never underestimate the capabilities of your enemy. And here is the great part . . . there is a lot of information available about your enemy. You can read all about him. You can ask others about him. Just ask about Nicko at any local library, the web, or right here. Once you know your enemy and all that he has, a big part of your battle has become so much easier.
Of course every battle goes smoother with the aid of advisors and supporters. You will find hundreds of advisors here on this support site. You will have so many supporters here that you will never realize the actual numbers. In order to succeed you must be willing to share your battle plans, successes, failures and doubts will all these advisors and supporters. That is the only way to get the feedback you require to ensure a well maintained and successful battle.
And finally, going into battle needs a good leader. You will be that leader. It is your fight, your battle and your victory at the end of the battle. A good leader has a good attitude . . . the `I will not fail` attitude. A good leader can be both strong and humble at the same time. A good leader will realize mistakes made and take full responsibility. A good leader will not get too thingyy when things go so well that his guard goes down. A good leader is patient. A good leader listens. After a successful battle, a good leader will help others who are about to enter a similar battle. A good leader is what you can be.
So pull on your combat boots. Put fear in the heart of your enemy. Put determination in your burning desire to win. Have a humble spirit ready when you need help. Put kindness in your hand so that you can help others.
What a great day to smoke free!
