Hello All,
First thanks for all those post to my wall, and sorry I had not answered, to tell you the truth I go busy and this is the first time I been on the site since my last post.

My quit counter got killed when my computer had to be reloaded so I'm not current on my totals, but still smoke free. ( I could reload the counter and back date to the quit date to see the totals but I'm not sure I want to )

Tomorrow at 6:35 AM will be two years since I kicked the two pack a day addiction out of my life.

For all you new folks, trust me it will get a lot easier as time goes by, as a matter of fact I rarely even think of cigarettes any more, and when I do it is usually when I see the prices posted on a store sign or something.

My determination has not wained, I'l never smoke, chew or dip again. I no longer even think about it, smoking is just not part of my life, and not smoking no longer occupies my mind.

ITS JUST GONE....

For all you others with a little time under your belt, and are still here for what ever reason weather it be encouraging others or moral support from others ( Both are Grand reasons)

Never forget my lesson of 32 months ( 2 Yr 8 mos) , that Looong pause ended when I got to thinking junkie thoughts and started dwelling on the belief of "Just One" could end a stressful situation.

That "one" led to 2 packs a day within a couple weeks for 4 more years before I had the courage to end it for good.

Every now and then I remember the regrets of that failed pause, the lost life, cost to my self esteem, shame,

Thanks to support sites here and whyquit.com and the education I received I know I'll not have to suffer that again.

Best To ALL
NTAP NOPE
RJ....Free at last...

Congradulations on your two years RJ! Thank you for the excellent post. I had 19 months 30 years ago, and it took me 25 years to quit again! I don't believe that I'll ever smoke again because I love being a non-smoker so much! But I know that I'll never be "cured" of my addiction.

Congratulations on your 2 years smoke free. You should be so proud of yourself. Thank you for your blog. It's nice to hear from people with long term quits.

Congratulations - that is awesome! I haven't quit yet, but after many failed attempts, am trying to have an educated quit this time and do things right. I saw in another post to someone else's blog that you mentioned cranberry juice. Really? If you don't mind me asking, how does that work? I'd appreciate any input you could give me. Thanks & Congrats again!!!
