The Magic of Mondays ~

Staying Quit after the Great American Smokeout ~

"Monday is the January of the week,"
says Monday Campaigns President, Peggy Neu. "Our research shows that people see Monday as the day for a fresh start and are more likely to start diets, exercise regimens and quit smoking on Monday than any other day. It's a natural restart day to change old bad habits into positive new ones, or to get back on the wagon if you've fallen off."

I wish I had this idea during the maytimes I had tried to quit in the past but failed. Falling off the wagon, as it were, sometime during my success and not getting back on .... Procrastinating unil I just quit quitting!

Donald Distasio, Chief Executive Officer of the American Cancer Society, Eastern Division says, "We hope many more smokers will use the Great American Smokeout as an important first step towards living a smoke-free life. Stay Quit Monday is a good tool for smokers to use in reinforcing their commitment to quitting."

If you quit last Thursday during the GASO or know someone who did and are struggling to stay quit ... Keep The Magic of Mondays in mind. Recommit to quitting tomorrow and every Monday to come.

Good Luck -- FJW :o)
