Hello @Pilgrim, Not to beat a dead horse, but you can not white knuckle your way to a successful quit. If you try again, it needs to be a positive thing. Your quit needs to be wanted and loved, cherished above all else; Especially the first year. We do not give babies a cigarette when they are crying...we tend to their needs, figure out the real problem and fix it. It is the same with quitting smoking. Next time, just eat some chocolate

Hey @Pilgrim! The only way to quit smoking is to stop putting cigarettes in your mouth. Even when we want to. Even when that old stinking thinking starts romancing the cigarette. It is just a memory, acknowledge and move on friend. Go breathe in that good camp air, make new memories with your kids, that's what life is about...this chapter is for you to write, it doesn't belong to addiction anymore!

Hello Quinzee! You are finally free from the bondage of cigarette addiction, and now you can enjoy life to the fullest! All you have to do now is never put another cigarette in your mouth again, easy as that!

What a wonderful woman and she leaves behind a legacy that will continue to help quitters for years to come. Rest in peace, friend.

Whoop! Whoop!

We're all rooting for you Kdad!

Aye Reci! Congrats on 8 years! Freedom feels so good!

Congratulations Mee!! How wonderful! You story is amazing and you still have your quit against all odds! A testament to the power of NOPE! I pray for many more smoke free days for you, friend!

Congrats Doreen!! You are a true inspiration Thank you for years of support, you have helped change many lives here!

Congratulations Jillar!

Good on you, @Reflexology! Keep the positive outlook, it will be your best support! The only way to quit smoking is to stop putting cigarettes in your mouth...easy as that.

Thank you guys so much! I tried to treat myself...I got one of those new Coconut Dr. Peppers and YUCK! It was like a mouthful of sun tan oil not for me! And we went to my oldest son's band concert, and saw a friend that moved 10yrs ago but we lost contact with. It was a good night. I'm still doing Girl Scouts, and started school last fall to get my BS in Elementary Education. I should have done it 20 yrs ago The kids are big, I have a teenager...Lord help me. He is the same age as when I started smoking, but at least he has a parent that will talk to him about the dangers rather than buy his first pack like my parents did. Quitting changed my life...I'm grateful for my second chance

Hip hooray! Lucky 7! Thank you, @jillarillar for the shout out! Quitting is still the single best thing I have ever done for myself. Thank you @Lust4Life2016! Can you believe 7 years already? You too, huh? Or is it 8 for you? Either way congrats to all of us for taking back our lives!

Aye Jim! Congrats on 7 years! I think I'd rather risk the wood chipper than ever smoke again Thanks for stopping by!
