Way to go Joe! It's nice to be at a point where you measure quitting in years and decades instead of minutes and hours.2 points

Sunnyside Quit Date: 02/01/22 Posted December 2, 2016 We all chose to smoke and stick to it. When you first started it never became easy to you. You had to work to make it feel natural. You had to work to become a full time smoker. All the discomfort of coughing, head spinning, feeling sick didn't stop you from carrying on. Going around and around with the constant cravings never stop you. Now years of conditioning later you have now decided the you want to quit. Now it's about pay the price for the choices that you made because you smoked or pay an even bigger price later on for not going through this now. It sounds harsh and brutal but this is completely true! Which price do you want to pay? You had to retrained your brain and body to smoke. Now put that same effort into retraining yourself to stop. You can do it. Just put the same effort in. Just as it got easier in time to smoke and it became natural,a part of you and you could never see the end. IF you stop you will get to the point that you will look at smokers and it won't look natural or right to you. Further along it does get easier. Life becomes normal again. Remember it's your choice. It always has been. Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/7786-the-choices-we-make/2 points

Wow..Thanks everyone! To be quite honest, I totally forgot! i was outside on this nice sunny (But cool) day getting a head start on getting some Christmas lights up. After a couple dozen trips up and down the ladder, I was getting a bit winded! I jokingly told my wife that it was a good thing I quit smoking, because now it’s just old age and being out of shape that I can blame it on….lol.. SHE reminded me that today was the 10th anniversary of when I quit! she said she saw on Facebook where I had been tagged in a post (from Doreen) congratulating me! (I’m not too active on social media) I didn’t even realize today was the 20th… so…. This is a little lesson for all the newbies here… You CAN believe everyone here when they tell you it get easier…. I smoked almost 40 years before I quit….I did it cold turkey too… I know there are many ways that people have had success with, but I’m an advocate of cold turkey….”just do it!” again…thanks everyone!2 points
