My Quit

[Sylvia_Deitz]

I haven't been here for a long time, but have been getting some emails lately from this group, so decided to come on the site again and let you all know my progress over the years.  I quit in 2008...almost 10 years ago.  I probably wouldn't have made it if it weren't for this site.  Whenever I would have a bad craving, I would come on here and blog or read someone else's.  Anyway, I was successful and just wanted you all to know that it is possible.  I know at the time when I first quit, I used to really envy the ones who had been quit a year or more, thinking how could I ever do it, but with the encouragement from this support group, I made it.  It will be 10 years Sept. 11.  Also, it helped to learn everything I could about what smoking really does to you physically and mentally and if you look at it logically, why would anyone want to do all that to their body?

You are right.  We have to look at smoking for what it is logically instead of addictively.
