"Responsibility"

RESPONSIBILITY ... Avoiding situations where you usually smoke--sitting down with a cup of coffee, having a beer after work, socializing with friends who smoke--is to act out the principle: "In certain situations, I cannot be responsible for my actions. I cannot trust myself. I am at the mercy of forces outside myself." This belief is fundamentally irresponsible. Today I will live my life just as I normally would. I will do anything I would do as a smoker. If I get a desire to smoke, I can choose to act on it, or not. There is no situation which can force me to smoke, or undermine my resolve if I don't let it. No matter where I am or what is going on around me I am capable of not smoking.
