Well, I quit smoking three weeks ago and I had a hard day today not smoking.

Positive affirmations are powerful, but they can be overrun by complaining and negativity if you allow your mind to focus in that direction. As soon as you start complaining about how difficult this process is, you have begun using negative affirmations, and that will in turn give power to your prior longing to smoke (as if that needs empowerment).

It means so much to the seniors. They've had some hard times, but they're resilient and they never quit. They always fought hard.

I like smoking! I mean, God, I quit everything else, can't I smoke?

I'm about as healthy as a person can be. I quit smoking seven or eight years ago.

It totally ruins my voice. I quit smoking, drinking, and doing ecstasy.
