I have had several things running through my mind the last several things.

The first that has really been most persistent is how people think there is a fancy formula to quitting.

There is no set formula!!

I found the following blog worked best for me.

I know that people will disagree quitting could be so simple.

I'm not saying it is easy, but this is a great starting point to any quit.

The second thing that has been on my mind is all the idiots out there.

I wrote the following after meeting one of them at the library one day.

As you can tell, I was EXtremely upset at the time.

I still get a little "hot under the collar" when I think about people like that.

They have no idea what life can be like with the damage from smoking. To say someone should just keep smoking is really the height of stupidity in my opinion!!

That being said, I wish everyone a great, smoke-free day.

Be well and travel the path to freedom safely.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
