The Easy Way to Stop Smoking

Congrats to everyone. I quit last February after 21 years smoking - quit a few times before too but never stuck. I quit this time cold turkey - with a little help from upstairs I think. I bought the book years ago - and I think I only read to maybe chapter 2.....I never gave it the time of day, but I guess I wasn't truly ready. One thing I will say is I wish I didn't have the weight gain lol as to be honest that's why I'm here. But - it was a great decision, have saved a TON of money ($16 a pack-ish), feel better. It was easier than I thought, but still never easy - I found it hardest between 4-8 months in. I didn't want the replacement just because I know me - addictive personality. I smoked cigarello's/cigars during that time to get me over but only socially when drinking - and surprisingly didn't have any urge to smoke cigarettes or to start smoking again. I think that was just more habit too, but that's even going away now and don't find it tempting to smoke when drinking. I think we all experience it differently and all that matters is we did it, somehow and some way. Congrats and high fives to all of us!!!

It comes down to will power. I'm aware everyone is different but you can do it. My father who is almost in his mid 70's use to smoke but quitted. Been 10+ years or so.

I remember another elderly man who use to smoke 80cigs aday but quitted. He was in his 60's, smoked most of his life.

Cutting down is the best way about it. Although I'm not a smoker.

I think you just need a good pneumonia for a week or two to ditch it. Worked like a charm and it costed me like 0 bucks.
