I know this is really a typical smokers' attitude, but here it is:
I can quit whenever I want.
The issue is...
the simple concept of wanting to.
I don't want to,
so I will not.
I will not quit until I truly want to.
I do have a basis for this attitude, however. It's not just based on simple confidence in myself.
Here is my basis:
1. I have the ability to psyche myself out to deal with small amounts of physical discomfort. For example, last winter, I was able to survive the cold in just a light coat. Sure, I was cold, but I didn't let myself shiver or react to the fact that I was cold.
2. I have previously quit obsessions and habits. I can change aspects of my personality fairly easily. I do have a strong willpower, and a good ability to focus on what I really want, and more importantly in this situation, what I do not want. When I really want something, I go for it.
