I quit in January. I smoked for 35 years and I honestly love smoking.
Now I am 30 pounds heavier, my cholestrol is high and my trigliserides are off the chart.
I have ate enough chicken and fish that I am growing feathers and fins. Probably starved at least a half dozen rabbits to death but I'm trying

One year smoke free!! It has officially been one year since I have smoked a single cigarette. Woohoo


I gained 50 pounds, but at least I am not smoking anymore.

Anyway after 29 years of smoking it was tough to quit but it is possible. All I can say is just do it, stop now.

Congrats!!

Been about 18 months for me (after about 25 years). I gained about 15 lbs, but at least I can breathe now

Congratulations, Leif! That is really something to be proud of.

I quit after 13 years of smoking and it was a very hard thing to do. Tried weaning myself off, tried the gum, and the patches, but I just ended up smoking with them. In the end, cold-turkey was the only thing that worked. Haven't had one in 2 1/2 years now.

So I decided yesterday that I needed to quit smoking. I've smoked for almost 29 years and I aint getting any younger or healthier. So yesterday I stopped, I had my last cig yesterday afternoon and that was it...

Here's how my wife quit:

"Five minutes at a time."

She would tell herself over and over "I may not be able to stay quit forever, but I can damn sure stay quit for five minutes."

Then, five minutes later, say it again.
