Of course it's not a matter of luck, nor persistance, I think it's about finding that comfortable place without it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The cigs become a "crutch" in life and you feel your going to fall when it's taken away. Trust me though, you won't! The first month will be the toughest, most aggravating and stressful time in your life but after that, you feel a sense of accomplishment and want to move forward. Good luck man and I wish you and anyone else who decides to quit all the best. /Steve edit: spelling You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Once they went to doctor and discovered health problems smoking caused them they changed their life around. Now they don't smoke, eat healthy, go walking and hiking into hills and mountains and things like that. I don't smoke nor does my brother but my best friend does. He tried to quit million times and every time I encourage him but he is just not character enough to stick to it. I hope you are, I see Skenington is already on right path - congratulations You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If you want to make it fun, do this: Take the money you would have spent on each pack that you DID NOT BUY, and spend it on guitar gear this month alone you could score a nice pedal It might take some of the edge off the desire to smoke,and you deserve something for giving up the EVIL WEED. Really, that stuff is as hard as heroine to kick, according to some. Good Luck! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
