Thanks for the ping.
I quit smoking 197 days ago and have been nicotine free 144 days. It wasn't easy but it was worth it. I was smoking almost 3 packs a day and coughing all night long. I also managed to quit with no weight gain, so if the fear of gaining weight is holding anyone back, know that not everyone gains weight when they quit.
I went to an Advanced Medical Stop Smoking Center. The treatment is based on a patented process using FDA approved medications to eliminate physical withdrawal symptoms. It worked well for me.
Congrats and best wishes for your continued success! I know it isn't easy, but you have a great attitude and I know you'll keep going strong.
