Nope!

Sorry to hear @Cbdave. Many of us have damaged our lungs over the years and decades of smoking. At least we quit adding to that damage by quitting! Many don't quit even after it's clear they must.

I would agree that there are times when sheer willpower came in very handy during the early days of my quit but what I started with was an absolute and unwavering commitment to quit smoking. I focused my entire life for the next few weeks on changing the way I thought about smoking and developing a set of tools that would help me through the really challenging days (and there were plenty of those!). I read a lot of material on the subject and relied to a large degree on people from this forum for support throughout the first year of my quit. You can't beat that combination; knowledge & support from those who gone through the same process!

Glad you have decided to make the leap and quit again! I think we all went through the "never a good time to quit" thought process. It's crazy how many excuses we made not to quit on this particular day or that other day in fact. Then one day it just comes over us and we make the commitment to give quitting a go because we're just sick and tired of the slavery to nicotine. It's never easy and there's lots of challenges along the way but strength in commitment will see you through. Never give up and never give in to those crazy voices in your head that will be trying to convince you to 'have just one'. As you no doubt know it's always just NOPE! A simple rule to follow - not easy but simple.
