I am 4 days away from being 5 years nicoteen free and very much alive and kicking Yeah. Thanks Icanquit for getting me off to a great start. If Lia is around sorry I missed your 5 year date. 100 days ahead of me and a great quit buddy. Advice. The pain and torture does not last and eventually you will notice that days have passed and you haven't even thought about cigarettes. Did it cold turkey with really strong sweet coffee to help with the cravings. Now. Nicoteen free and sweet coffee only once in the morning. Good luck.
