Quit Smoking Monday Messages

Monday May 18, 2009
Goodbye and Good Riddance!

Saying goodbye to an addiction that has held us prisoner for decades involves more than just recovery from the physical need to smoke. For most of us, letting go of the habit signals a powerful emotional release as well.

Over the years, About.com Smoking Cessation Forum members have contributed personal accounts of the psychological clearing that smoking cessation brings, and they've done it in the form of goodbye letters.

Fix yourself a cup of tea and settle in for a little inspirational reading.

Take The Quit Smoking Monday Pledge

Healthy Monday encourages us to think of every Monday as a day that we can begin work anew on goals that we have for ourselves. If you're still smoking, put your cigarettes down and get started on your quit program today.

We all have the ability to quit smoking successfully, and we all deserve a life that is free of addiction. Honor your life by choosing Monday as the day to start and reinforce your quit program.

You can quit smoking ... and we’re here to help you, one simple Monday at a time.

It helps to read about other people’s experiences quitting smoking. It’s a hard thing to do and you cant just stop one day. You have to be ready to quit.
