CONGRATULATIONS!
To all my friends who are about to gain their freedom!!
Cigarettes are one of the worst forms of substance abuse....legal,
accepted, affordable, prevalent (although less so today) and LETHAL!!......................God, when I think of all the cigarettes I smoked for over 40 years........ITS MIND BOGGLING THAT I DID NOT QUIT SOONER......Well, I feel great! In August it will be 5 years.....Probably 7 to 10 K ahead of the game.. in cash... but that NEVER was the incentive.........The daily dividend is MUCH BETTER HEALTH!
I went COLD TURKEY cuz I did not want to have another addiction or continued cravings for gum (my brother quit and chewed nicorrette for several years.. maybe the patch?? Well I just wanted it done!!!!!!!!!and I really worked my way mentally...to be very angry and it was them or me..(cigarette companies) They got me and kept me,with their additives,for 40+ years and I was pissed...I WON ..THEY LOST..I kicked their ass! (with help) :box2:. I was ANGRY and NOT FUN to be around but everyone understood and they were proud of me! My wife had just beat a rare, deadly, cancer and she was an inspiration as well!...........................BUT.....................
Most credit goes to Jack, DTB, Fletch, and the many others who joined in quitting and showed up each day to support and listen to my rants...The thread must have been tiresome to some but without it I would probably be joining the list here today......I THANK YOU ALL for that help!!!
I wish you all the best!!.... and I will be here to support you to your ultimate success against this crap!
