If you are perusing this site and trying to decide if you can do it,( we already know you want to ), allow me to use myself as an example. I was 60 when I found this site, and had been chewing for over 30 years. Smoked for 15+ years before that and was thoroughly hooked. I’m old and cranky and wanted assurances that this wouldn’t be a wasted effort, so I read quite a few of these speeches, and many of the articles in the Library.
You will find articles that make you sit up and wonder how that author could read your mind. They can because they are you. Just further down the quit road. There’s no magic here, just hard work, and all the tools and encouragement you will need for success. For me, an article by Blove called “the Recipe for Success” was exactly what I wanted. That article is still in here, and I highly recommend it. It shows how all the parts of this place relate to you and your needs, and work together to get you out the door at 100 days. No one who has followed this recipe has had to write a “cave” speech ( apologizing for caving in ).
That’s not to say it’s easy, it isn’t. But it is being done by people just like you. There are swarms of people reaching the Hall of Fame every month, and it’s not likely that we are all better people than you, is it ? No. You absolutely can do this. There is a path to follow, friends along the way, and a longer, healthier, dip free life waiting for you.
Look down the road 3 months…would you rather be reaching for your spitter or reaching for a pen to compose your HoF speech?
The choice is yours.
