I do know that now, 3 years later, I am able to be around smoke without even thinking I want to smoke, but I still have about 1 dream a month that I'm smoking in.
It took me several false starts, but you won't regret quitting once you get the hang of being a non-smoker!

Agree 100%; I have been smoking 1 pack a day (some days even 2) for 24 years and quit Aug 2005; it was the best thing I did to myself and people living around me.

Good luck

I quit about a month ago, and although it was my third attempt...this time I really did it. It was a little difficult at first, mostly just when i'm out at the bars, but besides that it hasn't bothered me to much.

Congratulations!

By the way to all of you who have been done for years. Do those occasional cravings ever go away?

The cravings become fewer and farther between, and much less powerful. Every once in a while, I'll get a craving, but I have to think about it before I even realize what it is I'm craving. Then I can just laugh it off.

goodluck on quitting! the first three days are hard but wait a few months until you get an out of nowhere craving... man those will make you go nuts for a smoke. after a few months of not smoking i would get some hardcore cravings. i would watch some actor on t.v have a cigarette and imagine how good that must be...

but fight it! its so much better to be a non smoker! you get your energy back and you can breathe properly again. waaay healthier!

goodluck! its hard but its worth it!

hahah you e-mail just gave me a out of nowhere craving talking about how awesome it would be. i have been quit for 2years now and it is awesome. just think of all the money you can put towards herps now.


the #1 way to quit is to just not go buy more. hhahahahah. i know it is common sence. but just keep thinking about not buying more and the days will fly bye. you should also think about painting your house or washing the car from front to back. i know a lot of people that start running and if you are a out of shape smoker the last thing you want after a 2-3 mile jog is a cig.

haha well dont give in! keep up the streak!

Good luck!:rockon: Longest I could go was a month, then it just got to be too much for me. Last time I tried quitting I was a good 32 days into quitting, I was watching secret window, and when Johnny Depp busted out a pack and lit one up, I found myself heading to the store for some...

Good luck and hang in there! It's well worth it :)
