F.E.A.R.

FEAR. Fear immobilizes us. Fear prevents us from going further. A great post PuffNoMore and fear was a great reason why people don't quit smoking. If we could remove that fear and get people to BELIVE that there is nothing to fear, many more would quit.
We value N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever), so perhaps we need an acronym for FEAR.
Please submit your answer that might help someone conquer their fear of quitting smoking

Fear mongering of health does not work! Those who smoke simply accept that that is the way it is. That they will have to take their chances, because they don't BELIEVE that they could quit. I among others quit after 40- years of being a heavy smoker. We can only hope to give others the belief that they too can quit.
Fear is the greatest obstacle. We need to undo the brainwashing. We need to instill hope and positive thinking.

Come on Red, Fear is a problem in any walk of life, it would be wonderful to have this stick in our brains. I think it is a good idea. Especially when you fear you cannot achieve the happiness that you deserve, or overcome an obstacle that evaded you before. Come on give it a go what harm would it do, it is a positive Idea...

Yes Fear held me back. Fear is a very worthy reason so many continue to smoke and struggle to start the Quitting process at all.
I have stated someway back that the mere thought of stopping smoking, was worse than the Quit itself.
GREAT POINT.

I love matics FEAR
Forget Excuses Accept Reality.
