What works and what doesn't?

So it has been 50 days since my first blog and out initial efforts to quit smoking.  Not a lot has changed but a lot has happened.  Though my friend smokes a little less now, we still are not in full fledged quitting smoking mindset or mode.

I am not minimizing the efforts just facing reality.  The goal was to quit was to be on her younger daughtr's 16th birthday.. What a great gift that would be...????for everyone but especially for this phenomenal young woman who loves her mom so much and wants her to quit so badly because she is fearful her mother will die way before she is finished sharing life with her....

  Is this still possible?? Not sure??? Well I know it is from where I am sitting but I am not sure my friend is ready to pull this off?

Where is she stuck?  Why is she stuck?  where is the motivation lacking to quit? what essential supports or tools does she need?  Why is this not a priority?

We are scheduled to discuss a weekly meeting date tonight again.  Of all the things in our lives right now I cannot think of anything that is more important to me..I hope it is equally important to her!

Moments keep ticking...everyday we are closer to our death...wouldn't it seem right to want to make it last as long as we can?
