Introduction

I am 32 years old, and I have been smoking frequently about eight years. I smoke about one and half pack of cigarettes in a day, and have been trying to stop smoking for several times. As you already know, I have not succeeded. To make matters worse, the reason why I ended up smoking again, was always the same. That is really embarrassing, because I have always believed that an intelligent person does not make the same mistake twice. And even though I consider myself to be an intelligent person, I ended up doing the same mistake again and again. Why? Because I did not admit that I am addicted to nicotine.

I was visiting my parents and staying up late, because I could not get any sleep. I decided to smoke a cigarette and went outside to do so. Suddenly, I started wondering why I am really smoking. It just did not make any sense to me that I had go outside in the middle of the night, because i needed my hourly fix. I started up thinking about stopping smoking, but this time I wanted to do something different. The idea about this website was born almost immediately.

I am going to be honest with you. My reasons for creating this website were purely selfish. I have always thought that no one wants to make oneself to look like a fool in the eyes of other people. Naturally, this was before I watched a TV show called Doctor Phil. Anyway, since telling everyone I know that I am going to quit smoking did not work, I decided to take the next step. Obviously, the next step I mentioned was the creation of this blog.

The ultimate goal of this website is to keep me motivated and help me to quit smoking for good. However, I also want to motivate other smokers to make the same decision as well. Are you ready to stop smoking? I know I am.
