Brittany will just have to tough it out.

Explanation:

I was addicted to cigarettes as a teenager and as a young man. I quit smoking cold turkey in 1990 because I decided that the price of a pack of cigs was too high. Yes, it's difficult. Quitting smoking is agonizingly uncomfortable. It's three weeks of Hell followed by three months of Purgatory. But if I can do it, so can anyone else. People fail because they decide that their excuses for failure are acceptable. "I'm under stress just now," is an excuse that I often hear. People who make excuses will just keep on failing until they learn that there is no such thing as an acceptable excuse. That's all there is to it.
