Quit smoking
I've been smoking for since I was a teen. Im to the point in my life where I wanna change and get healthy not just for me but for my family. Smoking is taking over my life and Keating me broke. I want to quit but it's so hard. Anyone else struggle with this and or have advice to quit?

you're not alone in this journey. Many others have faced similar struggles and successfully quit. One thing that might help is finding a support group or talking to people who have been through it. They can offer valuable advice and encouragement. Also, consider seeking professional help or looking into smoking cessation programs.
I am dealing with this as well and you’re right - changing something that has been apart of our routine is hard and I remind myself of that. It’s like trying to stop brushing my hair or teeth - it’s become habitual but also reminding ourselves as you said that something being a habit doesn’t mean it has benefits and can actually take over our lives. I find reminding myself as you said about your health for not only yourself but your family, and finances can help put a pause or delay and hopefully eventually a hesitation to smoking since you’re remaining present with what smoking is doing (affecting your health, time spent with family, loss of finances), not how it feels/gives us a rush in the moment.
