Good! I was pretty lucky myself no heart attacks thank god but I quit smoking cold turkey on June 21, 2007 after 25 years of smoking. We were living in a small space at the time and I had a cigarette lit and was smoking it. I started hacking, my sister started hacking (and she has never smoked) and my cat started hacking (and of course the cat never smoked). I looked around and said no more, put the cigarette out and quit right there. Never touched another one. I felt like what the hell was I doing, i was killing everyone in the house including my cat! It was enough for me to stop. Glad you are going on one year! Good job!
I smoked as well for many years but I have not smoked since the late 90's. I would not use all of those gimmicks, patches, gum, etc. They just keep you addicted to nicotine. Cold turkey is the way to do it. I watched my grandmother die of lung cancer and a few other's as well so I just made up my mind to do it. I did fail a bunch of times though and I was a real bastard for a couple weeks after quitting. Funny, I still can smell a smoke from a mile away now. Anyways, you can do it bro!
Day 2 now of giving up smoking. I have tried to give up these cigs many times over the last 20+ years and twice I went 6 months this time I know I can do it this time I must do it.
Today is day 2201, how you doing? Can I assume after 6 years & 9 days your still smoke free?
