    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      i first smoked @ age 4. Then @ age 12 I would smoke socially w/ a friend. Then @ age 18 i started again, and haven't quite quit. I quit for 3 months but my hubby kept smoking and i eventually started again. I tried to quit when i was pregnant but my doctor and psychiatrist advised against it because i was having SEVERE anxiety and would have lost my son. So, halloween was my quit date, i got down to under 5/day. New Year's Eve '07 was my last cigarette.
