How did I do it? I made up my mind. You must get off the fence. In my previous quits I held onto all options. This time I decided that no matter what I wanted, no matter what I was feeling, a cigarette would not be the answer. It was work. It was pain for awhile. It is all for a purpose. GROWTH We stop growing when we smoke. We remain child-like in many ways. I was a die-hard. I smoked for 52 years. It feels wonderful to be healthier, happier and more mature. I am so over cigarettes. I did not think that would be possible for me. This site and all the people who had quit before me willing to hold my hand as I let go of cigarettes and moved into a much better life. You can do it. If I could, you can, I promise
