Then I quit for 13 years but made the mistake of thinking after all that time I could just have one. Well, one led to another a month later, than another a week later, and . . . . Well, you get the picture. So after another 13 years I quit again. It really wasn't that hard. I just said to myself, don't have a cigarette right now. Hold off for a while. I kept saying that to myself long enough that I found after a few weeks, I didn't have to say it so often. It's been over three years now and I do feel much better physically. I only miss smoking once in a great while, and then only occasionally when I'm sitting around with a cup of coffee. But I also know that I am a cigaholic. So I can never have another one. But that's fine with me. For one thing, it's not costing me an arm and a leg for cigs anymore. What is a pack up to now - $4.00?
Bottom line, try to stop. If you need a support group, you know where you've got one.
