I Can’t. I Don’t Have the Willpower

Do you think you’re weak because you've been unable to quit smoking/vaping despite your attemps? If you answered “yes” these thoughts are harmful to you and moreover, completely unfounded!

1. You are fighting a substance that is as addictive as cocaine or heroin. That’s really powerful!
   
2. Willpower alone is not enough to quit smoking/vaping. Your determination must be based on a project or values that are really dear to your heart. Ask yourself the following question: Is quitting smoking/vaping really important to me? If the answer is “yes”, you have the basis for your motivation. You just need to reinforce it.

Your motivation will be greater if:

• You are convinced that the advantages of quitting smoking/vaping surpass the inconveniences that you may encounter;
• You are confident in your ability to use effective methods to face the difficulties you may encounter;
• You seek advice from health care professionals and from I QUIT NOW (assistance available online, by phone or in person) to support you in the quitting process.

Remember:

• The drawbacks of quitting smoking/vaping don’t last while the advantages will last the rest of your life;
• In spite of the problems you may encounter, your strong motivations will make the difference for your quitting journey (your health, your friends and family, your wallet, etc.).
