quitting smoking was the hardest thing I have ever done, but it taught me that if I decide I want to do something that is entirely within my control, I can do it. That’s a lesson that outweighs the advantages of quitting itself. Now, how to do it? Exercize, taper off gradually and, once you have quit altogether, reward yourself every day with a treat. (I used chocolate.) Also, put aside the money you used to spend on smokes for something fun. If I were doing it today, for example, I would get a massage everytine I accumulated enough money not spent on smoking.

We have been married for 30 years and never could do this. Now our youngest daughter is going to an expensive college next year and we want to stick to a budget so we don’t go broke!
