It doesn't matter how many years a person smokes whether it's for a year or 50 years THIS is one hell of an addiction BUT thankfully with commitment and perseverance we can kick the nicotine poison to the curb permanently, if you're struggling please know that it's bound to take time to relearn life without the smokes because every blessed thing we did was wrapped around them BUT the longer you're quit the easier it will get BUT it does take time BUT believe me when I say it's worth every bit of the discomfort and feeling like you're going to crawl out of your skin! Once you get through the roller coaster ride into that good place in your quit THEN you'll realize how much better life is without the yuckies! (cigarettes) Vigilance is key to remaining Smokefree....
