Three Year Anniversary! Whoohoo!
The best thing I've ever done. Three years ago today, I put down my cigarettes after a 28-year habit. It was hard. I used the patch. But the biggest single difference in my being able to quit that time (over the many other times I'd tried) was this site:
The Q or QuitNet. There's a button on the sidebar that will link you to the site, if you've a need...
Please. If you smoke. Try them. It's free. And the support you need, 24-7, is at your fingertips. (Oh, sure, like any other site, you can pay for more services, but the basics are free, and that's all I needed.)
It was wonderful to know that any time I wanted to smoke, there was someone out there in the world with the same struggle, online, asking for a buddy to help them thru. They helped me, and I helped them, too.
It is NEVER too late to quit. It will be the single best thing you've ever done. It's not easy, but it's possible.
And I believe in possibilities.

You've inspired me, maybe I can do it too!
yeah good for you!
Congrats on staying cigarette free.
Keep up the good work.
I've never smoked, but I appreciate how hard it is for those who want to stop smoking.

Rachel, you CAN do it!
Thanks to everyone...
And never fear. I've lived thru some extremely tough times in the past 3 years, and not once have entertained the thought to start up again. Not smart to say "never" but...
Now, I'm so deathly allergic to it, it wouldn't be smart - for many many reasons...and I have no desire whatsoever to pick it back up - besides, I like having the money for yarn and fabric - and not sending tax $$ to the state!
But smoking is a nasty habit that's terribly hard to quit - still, I know, if I can do it, anyone can. (I was hardcore, folks - really! My doctor was convinced I would never quit. I loved surprising him!)

Wow, congratulations! I wonder if there is a site like that for dieters.
Good for you! Overcoming an addiction like that is really hard.
congratulations! I never smoked, but my parents did (heavily) - I know how hard it was for them to quit.
Good for you!!
YEAH!!
Congratulations!!
I am at 8 months of quitting!!
You should be really proud of yourself! Great job!

Congratulations! That is really something to celebrate. I remember when I was a little kid and my mom quit smoking. She knit us mittens and hats to keep her hands busy. She successfully quit, and my brother and I were very warm during Wisconsin winters.
well done!!!!! you go girl.
