If I can give up smoking, anyone can. I was a chain smoker. But one day I just decided that my health was more important and I have not smoked for fifteen years. It is not so hard to give up.

Addictions can rule our lives if we let them. It is hard to kick a bad habit of any kind once it gets ingrained in us. You tell a full tale in just eight words.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes it is definitely a desperate plea. Quitting smoking was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. And yes, I am very grateful that I never developed a taste for alcohol and never tried any drugs. Dodging bullets there!
