It may seem to be nearly impossible but it is not impossible when you want it. When a person chooses to find their integrity vs nicotine they realize that "need" was a bunch of bullshit. All of the excuses we use are bullshit. All of them. Read the site, find your integrity, take your life back. Quit.
Athletes bodies arent special. They are no different from anyone else choosing to be nicotine addicts. Athlete, college professor, sgt. major, garbage man, ceo, landscaper, all the same, not special, no special excuses because "everyone else is doing it".
