    Smoked a pack a day (easily) for 17 years. I'm 33. I quit cold turkey on Jan 1st. Just over 2 mths smoke free!!! Not easy, but doable!!!! Already feeling sooooooo much better!!!! Feel free to add me!

    One day at a time,
    One hour at a time,
    One minute at a time.

    My husband and I had our last cigarette the first Wed of Aug 2011 ~~ I looked at him and said, I am done, I am not buying anymore smoke, if you want to you can!!

    That was it ~~~ it hasn't been easy! The not buying them was actually easier than I thought, but the car rides, the before and after meals etc.. was not easy. We haven't looked back and we both feel alot better. AND with the extra money (well not extra $) but we are treating us to funner things, I got a membership at Curves and a treadmill and he is getting a membership for the Country Club in town.

    I is worth it!! and YOU CAN do it.

    Car rides!!! After meals!!! Agree! They are STILL hard for me! I've been smoke free for 2 months now after smoking a pack + a day for 17 years! There are my triggers that get me, but ya gotta push thru!
