I was a smoker for over 40 years and stopped 2 years ago...it was the best thing i ever did!
Dont ask me why I stopped because I couldnt answer you (I always said I enjoyed it too much to stop) but one night i decided to quit....I had lost my younger sister to cancer and I swear it was her sitting on my shoulder telling me not to light that cig! lol!
I did it with the Niquitin patches and realised that the THOUGHT of stopping was worse than actually DOING it! (and I was quite a heavy smoker)
Withing a few months I'd saved enough for a new sewing machine....and these days I rarely even think about cigs!
I wish you luck ....you can do it!
