Good for you ,I had my last cig. on the last hour of 2005, never looked back, surprised me that I could do that, but I just said these are killing me and I'm not ready to die. God bless you and help you stay free of smoking.

I thought I'd never be able to quit.

I am so happy for you, I have never smoked except for second hand from my DD and DH.My DD only stopped after I was married and gone. My DH put his down when he went to war in 1969 and never smoked again. Just this year my SIL lost his step dad who was a good friend of ours to lung cancer he was a heavy smoker most of his life and had stage four before he knew he had it. He was here last Thanksgiving and was not feeling well and had lost weight, everyone was on to him to go to the Dr. He went the next week and found what he had. He was here Christmas and gave us all a big hug good by and was gone in four more weeks. Now when I see someone smoking it makes me so sad. I am so happy you found something to help you get free of them. Take a deep breath of sweet fresh air and be happy.

They say that some people take 9 or 10 tries before they can quit. I don't think I took quite that many, but once I learned not to be so hard on myself for downfalls, I quit pretty easily. Its a great feeling when you are really ready and finally are successful
