Just thought I would pop in having now quit for 4 years 2 months. This forum was a life saver for me as I had tried quitting so many times in the past. Smoked for 53 years and was gripped with the addiction. Hated myself for smoking. Always felt tired. Smelled of smoke. Coughing at night constantly. Fear of illness. Knew I was wasting money.
I went cold turkey and held on for grim death.
I will be eternally grateful for my quit buddies as the share the journey in the ups and down of quitting was a life saver.
Now rarely think about cigarettes and have saved nearly $40000
I’m 71 years of age and finally totally free of the demon.
Always good to remember though that just one puff could put me back just like snakes and ladders.
