10 Ways to Adopt a Winning Attitude

This week I'd like to introduce you to Karen, a member of the About.com Smoking Cessation forum. When she reached a year smoke-free, Karen shared 10 tips that helped her adopt a winning mindset with the forum community. Her post inspired so many I thought I'd add it to our permanent collection of personal quit stories so that it might live on to help others.

From Karen:

"In order to quit smoking for good, you have to change your attitude toward your quit. Believe me, I know how hard cold turkey is; it was my method of choice, and I smoked for over 33 years. I started when I was 12 and I'm going on 46 years old now.

"More than anything else, what I most want you to know is that when you quit, you are not giving up smoking you are taking back your life."
