Thank you, everyone! Who'd a thunk it? I didn't even know I could count to 7. To anyone considering quitting, struggling with the daily grind of your quit, or feeling as if you can't make it another day without a smoke after a slow warm-up period when I first started in my teens, I was one of the heaviest smokers I knew throughout my smoking years and particularly at the end when I was the only person I knew that smoked everywhere (my house, car, you name it). I would have voted myself least likely to quit until the day that I knew that I had to if I wanted attempt to keep my health from declining fast. Once the decision was made, I knew this was it and I would never smoke again. Not that I never wavered (I did constantly in the early months) but I never crossed the line from thinking about it to acting on it. Making the firm decision for yourself (not for others and certainly not for us) is really the only trick to quitting. After that you're done, and it's just a matter of figuring out the easiest ways to get past all of the triggers, tough days and sometime emotional roller coaster. You don't even have to like it (I hated it), although it's much easier if you can at least sometimes enjoy the challenge of the process and the daily victories along the way. You just have to make sure that at the end of each day you've put another non-smoking day in the books. While you may or may not like the process, you will definitely enjoy the freedom you achieve when cigarettes stop ruling your thoughts, movements, and health, and stinking up your clothes. As the well-worn, somewhat annoying, phrase goes if I can do it... Cheers, and let's celebrate all of our fabulous quits whether we're counting in minutes, days, or years today.
