You're not a failure - you are a perfect success! Cigarettes are desinged to be as addictive as possible so our addiction proves their success.

When you're ready to quit, when you want to not smoke more than you want to smoke you'll find that steady and abiding drive to make the transition. Until then, just try to start by smoking less.

Yesterday I was walking downtown and someone asked if I had a light. And I realized for the first time as an adult, no, I don't have a lighter. Because I don't smoke. It was an incredible feeling and I couldn't stop smiling.

Wishing you all the joy and purpose you need to start your new chapter and to not judge yourself for the chapter in which you met your needs the best you could with something that no longer serves you.

You've got this!
