It has been 5 years since I threw away the cigarettes for good cold turkey as they say! It is a wonderful feeling to know I have accomplished this goal. I hope to achieve many more this year! Good luck to everyone. We can do this! Rah Rah Rah!

    Not sure exactly but the last time I quit was about 11 years ago. Ironically I was just thinking about it this morning. To those that are trying, just keep trying. I quit 4 times before I quit quitting. Best thing I ever did for myself. Especially if you are also battling a weight/health issue.

    I agree. And the same advice goes for losing weight. Every time you quit you get a little bit better at it - and every time you try to change any other habits you learn what works and what doesn't.

    I know a lot of people that do... but that's not so supportive when someone is trying to quit!!

    @IWTBFCIN3, kudos to you. I am not a smoker, but know many people who are and who have quit. Keep fighting on. You can do this!

    Groovy! I am right behind you with 4.5 years. I celebrate 5 years at the end of May.

    Outstanding job! I quit cold turkey as well 4 years ago on Dec 24th. This was one of the best things I ever did for me, myself and I! And for those of you fighting for it, I know how hard it is, but your already one step closer! You can do it!!

    4 and 1/2 years for me and could never see myself doing it much less going back. Cold turkey for me also. Anyone trying to quit it's not easy. Somehow I got lucky will willpower or something. I put my mind into something else. Something that was going to be way more fun and long term and it worked.

    Well done, I quit 5 years ago September gone, used the tablets for the 1 st month and then I was on my own, it's not easy and I still go out 'for fresh air' when I'm having a few drinks but I know if I had a puff I'd be straight back on them :naughty:
