It's been a long time since I have checked in and I am still going strong. Best thing I ever did for myself. but also the hardest. Keep strong and remember, there is no 1 cig. One day at a time got me through and here I am, years later. I never thought I could quit, I tried and failed many times. I could only do it when I was ready and wanted it. You need to want it more than the desire to continue. I feel 1,000 times better and my life is so unencumbered! I am free to do what I want all day every day and not a slave to any addictions! It's nice to live on my terms. It is worth the fight, you CAN and WILL quit. I have no desires and will never ever smoke at all ever again and I am totally fine with that!
In my early days of quitting I came out here several times a day to keep myself honest and educate myself on the addiction. I learned so much and never would have been able to stick with it had I not had this forum. Use this as needed when you need it. It is worth the time and energy invested so you can beat this!
