CONGRATULATIONS! I know you can do it. I always want to quit smoking but when I'm with my friends, I can't help it. I need more discipline.

Still no cig's, not even one puff. I'm sure I'm done with them now. I'm not sure why it was so easy to go from 4 packs a day, non-filters to zero literally overnight.... but I'm very greatful.

Same here.. the last puff.. in 1993 .. after a zillion previous attempts.

I'm sooo happy for you.. LSD.. you will see a big difference in your health/apprearance. etc..

How long now?

Six weeks tomorrow. Still no desire for coffin nails.

Life is getting better.

Lakeside I feel the biggest step for you was you wanted to quit......

Most people say they want to but really deep down didn't want to quit. You realize what it is costing you & have just made a choice to not pay for them anymore.

For some people it is a lot harder so count your blessing it has been so easy for you.

I know people that have quit many years ago & still get a craving once in a while but resist the temptation.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
Very proud of anyone that can stop such a bad habit.

Maybe you have almost no functioning alveoli left in your lungs to absorb the nicotine into your capillaries
