Have you ever tried leaving one WITHOUT wanting to do it?

I have been taught that it is important to differentiate the symptoms and the disease. And "want to" a. k. a. will power, is highly over rated. In my experience.

The will to win is the strongest motivator.

My "want to's" were very strong and sincere, but the threat of death was the determining factor, for me ... which translated into ... fear.

How afraid are you, and what will you do if you're backed into a corner by a violent man who IS going to kill you and what will you do to stop him or at least put up a good fightr against his intentions ?

THAT'S when you'll quit smoking .. cold turkey

I smoked two to three packs a day of menthols for over 40 years

Two years ago I quit after aforementioned scare

Too late ... got emphasema

Now .......... life is not fun ... it's a necessity.
