Somewhere around 40 years smoking for me too....before that fateful day in Nov. of 2013...
thats when, I didn't just say to myself I wanted to quit... I TOLD my self I WAS quitting....no more....no matter how "hard" I thought it would be to not smoke, I told myself it was "tyme" (see what I did there...lol).
Sure... Your gonna have the normal bumps in the road on this journey, but we all did...we got past them...after a year quit, you will look back and realize, it wasn't that bad... The hardest thing about quitting is getting our mind on board with the fact that it's all about N.O.P.E...period! . Once you completely accept it, you won't seem to fight it...
in in the words of Sarge...it becomes "Easy Peezy"
take it it one day at a time, and remember we are here if you need us to "talk you down" there is no shame in having help,through this...that's why we all stick around!
