Good update.

I have them up in early 2000. I know if I ever light one I might as well buy a carton because I'll just be a smoker again. Anyway, I miss it sometimes for sure.

No doubt it would only take one for me as well.

I'm working on it right now, I quit for a year and then failed hard during a 36 hour Chicago to San Fran road trip. I've cut down to about 1/2 of where I was at and then just need to pick a date to stop. God it sucks...

Rockhead · 01-21-2014, 10:58 AM

Congratulations . It's not an easy task I tried many times . I have been smoke free since April 2003.

Wow, long time for sure. 24 years is awesome. Surely has affected your current quality of life.

I smoked from 17 to 25 and then quit on my 25th Birthday for 9 years. Started smoking again at 34 and struggled with it after that till I quit on my 40th birthday.

I chose benchmark days and gave myself a good lead time. The fist time I had told my mom when I was 21 that I'd quit at 25.

Both times before I quit I can't say how many times I bought a pack of cigarettes and smoked one or two and then swore I was quitting and threw the rest of the pack away only to run out and buy another pack.

Set a date, keep the date. It worked for me. The benchmark year helped a ton. I knew when I was 37 that there was no way I'd quit before 40 but that I WOULD quit at 40.

You can make it happen. Just depends on what motivates you.

I've gained weight and didn't need it. haha

I refused to try and quit AND diet. So I just allowed myself to gain it. Need to lose now. I would not be considered fat by most standards but I really am.
