Finally got motivated

I'm not sure how long this "goal" has been sitting here ignored. I've quit smoking for significant periods in the past. The first time I got really fat, gaining 50 pounds in a matter of weeks. The second time I didn't gain a lot of weight but did gain a little.
I've been sick as the proverbial dog lately and my system isn't making the mucus that normally protects the throat; every puff on a cigarette is just plain nasty and I can't imagine why I didn't get that before.
Both times when I quit before it was for other people, this time for me and hopefully the last time.

Congrats... I\'m finishing my 4th year of being smoke free... at times I still miss it... this past year though I had heart surgery, it was then I realized how great a life without smoking can be...

An old WC Fields quote says it all, \"Quitting smoking is easy. I\'ve done it 100\'s of times.\"

Unfortunately I\'m still puffing, more than a pack a day lately since I lost my job on Christmas Eve.
