I've smoked a pack a day (give or take) for the past 10 plus years. I've been wanting to quit for some time but just haven't been serious about it. After a short visit to GA, where Camel menthol is only $3.96 per pack, I cannot bring myself to pay $9.87 per pack here in NY! Fuckers!! Oops...there's the cranky again! So for health and financial reasons, I am gonna take a stab at it!! Wish me luck and thanks for reading. Also, thanks for sharing your stories. It helps to read about your struggles/successes as well!

Wonderful choice...and congrats to you for choosing life over the alternative...smiles

S'grand to come back to this thread and read that more folks are choosing their lungs over their addiction(s).

Keep the faith those of you who are giving it a go. If you lapse just carry right on and don't give up giving up.

LP, you've done brilliantly making it to half a year. A whole half a year!!! Go you!

Think it's 2 and half-ish years since I gave up tobacco and it 6 and half months since I gave up the other thing that was killing me.

They say it takes 21 days to break a habit so I'm hoping "they" are right! Feels like it anyway. I'm not twitchy anymore although I have moments where I feel like I want a smoke but it passes. I have avoided alcohol (until Sunday) knowing that would trigger me wanting to smoke. I had a margarita Sunday evening and I was amazed that I didn't have the first craving. I'm sure if I'd kept drinking I would've caved though.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share!

Congrats to you LP!!!! Sounds like you got this!! Keep it up!!!!!
