Mark, You made a wonderful decision to quit smoking. You will be in my prayers. The reason it is so difficult to quit, as I am sure you know, is because of the longing you feel for a cigarette when you stop. Addiction to anything is difficult to break, but nicotine is perhaps the most difficult. The LDS Stop Smoking Lesson teaches 15 steps to follow each day to help you turn off the longing for a cigarette. It takes only an hour to take the lesson, then you follow the 15 steps each day for a week. Your local missionaries already have the lesson manual and they can teach it to you. Do not be concerned. They will not take you where you do not wish to go. They will simply teach the 15 steps, and if that is all you want that is all they will do. If I can be of any help to you during this process just let me know. You will be in my prayers. Sincere best wishes, David Bresnahan Administrator LDS Stop Smoking Lesson

Perhaps you are not aware of the LDS Stop Smoking lessons taught by the missionaries. This is a free community service that has been used by missionaries for over 25 years. It works extremely well because it turns off the longing for a cigarette. It can be taught to anyone who asks by missionaries or priesthood leaders. Teachers who need a copy of the lesson manual can get one at LDSStopSmokingProgram.org
