All you guys who have joined the "Clean Lung Club", should be really proud of yourselves.
I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for 25 years and have been smoke free now for 15 years. I still get the urge once in a while, but as they said in the program I attended, count to 60 and whether you have on or not, the urge goes away.
Also, I learned that really heavy smokers, like us are using cigarettes as medicine. Nicotine is the fastest acting anti-depressant know to science and what we all were (are) doing was using cigarettes to get "well".
And remember, we're all like ex-junkies, we can newver have another butt again, EVER.
Oh, and Pat's right, anti-smoking evangelist's are never letting themselves get away from the habit. And yelling at people usually just gets you punched out.
Also, it was the hardest thing I ever did in my llife, but its worth it.

July 16th, 2001. My last cigarette. After smoking most of my adult life.
Not being able to taste or smell since has been rough, but it is still worth the effort. At least my Grandchildren won't see me with a cigarette
in my mouth. That makes it doubly worthwhile.

Congratulations Doug,
Unfortunately for me I am still struggling with this bad habit...
I've tried pretty much everything except the laser treatment, I am very anxious to try this laser treatment because one of the guys at work had it done and have not had a cigarette for a month, I am waiting til' he makes it to his third month without smoking.Chris

As a smoker for over 40 years it took the pending birth of our first grandchild to give us the motivation to quit. That was 5 1/2 years ago. Best decesion I ever made. The day I quit any damage that was done stoped getting worse. I am 64 and have mild COPD but it has not gotten worse and the DR said I have improved and there is some healing. Keep it up it does get easier and you will continue to feel better. You have made the right decision and you should be proud of yourself for what you have accomplished.

Thanks all,
The secret to quitting (for me) is, Prayer and the true desire of wanting to quit. Without either I don't think I would of made it this long.Comment
