You've watched the advertisements from the American Cancer Society and you don't want to be one of those statistics. Quitting is so hard though. You feel a sense of anxiety washing all lover you at the thought of quitting. You tell yourself you don't need a quit smoking program to get you through this because you can do it on your own.
