Today is the one-year anniversary of my last cigarette. I had originally quit in 1985, while I was in the Navy, but started again in '08 when I was going through a painful divorce. I was up to about a pack of Marlboro Reds per day when I quit, cold-turkey last July 15.

Combined that with the relatively new (2.5 months) commitment to getting fit, I'd say it's a good day to feel optimistic.

    Good work - getting fit will really help you get onto a totally new track, you will really start to realize how much you were missing as a smoker. My sixth anniversary of no smoking.

    Congrats OP - I hope to making a similar thread in May 2012!!!

    Thus far I am 2 months in and I do not miss it at all, in fact only this thread reminded that I used to smoke LOL

    I also did it without the dreaded '10lb giving up' gain!

    Congratulations! That is definitely an achievement that will extend your life by many years.... Good job Jack.
