Jan. 28th was the last cigarette i have smoked....
like i have said before, i am 26, younger then most posters, but i owe you a big thanks for convincing me of quitting...
i have only smoked for 8 years....the first 5 years it was more of a casual smoker, maybe a half a pack a day.....the past 3 years, i have been around 2 packs a day, and hated the fact that i allowed it to get to where it did.....i attempted to quit multiple times, but never was able too......
after reading some of your posts OLd school, i decided it was time to make a choice, before it got too late....i saw how you had smoked for many years, and quit....i read your posts about adding days to your life, and thought about my daughter....
i am so much healthier already and feel so much better about myself.....i honestly cannot believe how easy it is now that i am to this point...i have no desires to smoke, nor do i wake up trying to catch my breath! it was so mentally challenging the first 3-6 days, but once you get past that, its EASY!!!
i didnt want to post before i knew for sure i had kicked it, but i am very thankful that you were able to share some stories to help influence me in the right direction....I am saving nearly $10 a day, and literally feel great......i cant belive i ever got to the point where i was smoking 2 packs a day.....i can remember my first year of college when my coaches would try and talk to me about it, and i only pretended to listen and care.....now i really do care, and see exactly what people are talking about.....
thanks again to all who have shared their stories, and shed a little light on how much better life can be :toast:
