I will never understand why people go to such extremes as e cigs, patches, and all that crap to quit cigarettes when simply stop smoking works, and requires only one be determined.
I smoked fifty years. I didn’t want to quit, because I enjoyed smoking, but I didn’t want to pay the outrageous taxes on my cigarettes to support leftist causes, and that was my only incentive to stop smoking.
One day I put the last pack of cigarettes on the top shelf of the cupboard over the stove in the kitchen, and never lit another. It was so easy. I never turned into some monster, or had any moments of high anxiety, withdrawals, or other. Those things happen to people that believe others who say it will happen.
There were the same eighteen cigarettes in that pack a year, and a half later when I threw them in the trash with absolutely no remorse.
This time next month will mark five years since I quit smoking on September 9, 2009.
I got all kinds of heebeejeebees for weeks. Even dreamed i was smoking for several years after.
It was the money thing that gave me the determination. I was sick of paying chemical extortion money to RJR.
Just think of all that money spent on smoking, could have been used to buy good beer...a shame I tell ya. :-)
Congratulations. I quit smoking 19 years ago right after I met my wife when she said I could smoke in her car. I didn’t want her to know me as a smoker. I just stopped.
Just think what a wonderful world this would be if everyone had your willpower and strength to quit whatever addiction, vice, nervous habit, anger, angst, or any other affliction deemed harmful to us.
Can we look to you as the new Messiah? You seem to have the answer to everything that ails society.........
Do you wish for me to bow down or send you a monthly love offering?
