Hi everyone.. first let me say congratulations to everyone that has beat the beast and has been living free of the nicotine habit.. so big congrats to you all. I am 55 and have quit numerous time in my life for a year at a time each quit. I started smoking at age 11 and its been my biggest challenge through my entire life, literally. I quit twice this year 4 months ago I went back and now I am in my third week of no more. This is my last time of being held captive by something so crippling in so many ways.. I now have to have complicated oral surgery on all my teeth and gums.. Not looking forward to it.. so I compromised my oral health for the love/hate of this horrible addiction. I never join groups but this time is different..its going to work as my new life style. as I approaching my 3rd week of quit I plan on being pro active against this life change so with great hope of success through your great site with many like myself I can keep this train chugging down the track. Hi again to everyone and wishing you the best health.
