    Newport Kings and I had a relationship for 31 years. We've been broken up since 7/15/13. I had a craptastic day yesterday and barely thought of them. Progress n' all that.

    ETA: Fully nicotine free as well. Did some patches during the first week and a half, but I'm "clean" now.

    You're doing great keep it up!! :)

    That's awesome! Way to go!!

    Those same guys were my friends, too. For nearly 25 years... I quit for the final time in March, 2011.

    Hardly miss them at all. All of my smokey friends make that tough sometimes - but, I know myself and I can't just have one here or there. I've got to be all or none - and I choose none.

    It's so very freeing! No more worrying about having them, or spending all that money, or finding somewhere to have one... I just hadn't realized what a chain those little stinkers were. :-)

    Keep up the great work! and know that you've got a ton of support here if you ever need it.

    Congratulations!! Just stick with it. And if you do happen to slip up, don't beat yourself up or think that you've failed, just don't have another one. That was always my downfall... I would quit and a week later have one, and just think of myself as a failure and there I was smoking half a pack a day again.

    My BFF changed over the nearly 10 years of our relationship... Started with Winston Light 100s, then to Newport shorts, then 100s, then on to Marlboro Menthols. I quit cold turkey 7 weeks ago tomorrow. I'm actually kind of scared to say I really don't crave them... I had geared myself up to deal with cravings, because when I tried to quit before and did quit while pregnant, the craving were TERRIBLE... So I'm living in a state of worry that one day a HUGE craving is going to hit me broadside out of no where. I hope it doesn't happen, and I think about it less and less, but it still worries me.

    I had a 13 year affair with Marlboro Menthol Lights and succesfully quit a year ago. I hope one day I don't miss smoking because I still do.

    I quit smoking October 5th, 1990. ( Wow almost 23 years) that's how long I smoked! It was very hard to quit everytime I "tried" but that day in October I just simply said ..."This is Stupid" so I just quit. I haven't had a cigarette or a craving since. (I credit God for this). I see you are as decided as I was so Iknow success will be yours! Congratulations!

    You should give yourself the credit. You decided to quit and you did it.

    To the OP: Congrats and hang in there!

    Good for you!

    I actually wrote a "Dear John" letter to my cigarettes when I decided to part ways. It was very similar to your post about all the things we had gone through together for 23 years. I started smoking as a teenager, so I added a paragraph about how I really needed to do adulthood on my own because I was in my 30s now and needed to have the freedom to try other relationships, like sports.

    It was a very cute letter, but damn, so true!
    I was part of a 4 week smoking cessation support group and I read this 3 page letter to the entire group even though I barely knew them. It was very empowering. We all got a good laugh, a good think, and I treated the group to pizza that night.

    Quitting smoking was very empowering for me. I hope it is for you as well. You totally got this. :flowerforyou:

    My husband's aunt and uncle quit a year and 2 days ago. His uncle is now considering picking up smoking again because he's putting on too much weight.

    Yes, I know, they need to exercise and eat right. But they don't and won't. His aunt has diabetes and will eat a sundae from then pop a metforman (sp?) pill to lower her sugar. Health is not a priority for them.

    I'm on day 8 of being a non smoker after 30 years.

    I got a carton of smokes (10 pks) sitting here that I guess I should just throw away as well.

    Congrats.......... keep up the great work.

    oh how I used to love my Marlboro ultra lights too. Some bff, trying to kill me and screwing with my breathing. Great job quitting! I quit in January and it's the best thing I've ever done. I can't believe you still have one left and haven't touched it! Flush it!
    Stay strong! I lost 14 pounds since I quit because I can work out so much better and harder. I ran four miles for the first time in my life yesterday and I know I couldn't have done it if I was still a smoker.
