I finally did it. Quit smoking after 45 years and 1 1/2 packs a day. Never thought I'd be able to do it but I'm happy to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever). If I can quit, so can you. Lets support each other and become Nicotine Free.

I am not sure how long you have been quit. Even one day is worth celebrating. Whatever you do, please do not become complacent. I did that after being quit for 6 month and ruined my quit. It generally takes a whole year, all the holidays, all the feelings to be strong enough to make it forever. YOU can do this, you have a great attitude, and attitude is everything.

Five years quit now, and I can't believe it had me hooked so long. what a ridiculous thing to have wasted soooo much money on. :D

I quit after 44 years and feel so much better. Congratulations WestPalmGuy, you are a winner and welcome. I was away in New York for Thanksgiving, it's not Thanksgiving here in Canada, ours is in October. So I had 2 this year, so much fun and no smoke anywhere.
Funny thing happened, on the plane, they announced No smoking and I got a pang, until I realized a couple of seconds later, Hey I don't Smoke !!!!!!!! Then I was glad, I used to have panic attacks on planes cause I couldn't smoke. NO MORE . N.O.P.E.
