I hate when that happens.

"Sometimes I still smoke in my dreams."

So do I. And we quit in 1998. There are still times, when I'm under stress, that I really want one but so far so good. The best thing for me (I am being treated for lung cancer for the second time, so I didn't quit in time) is that the walls and ceilings of the house stay clean. When we were both smoking, I had to repaint everything every two or three years.

I never did smoke myself, but had two grandfathers, an uncle and various other relatives who died from smoking-related ailments.

Congrats on your two-year smoke-free life. :-)

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

Congrats to you too. :-)

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

10 days to go until your deadline. Hope it goes well.

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

13 years....good to hear your story....food tastes better too, now, right?

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

I don’t (never did) smoke, but it is good to hear that you are tobacco-free.

[ConservativeStLouisGuy]

Is quitting “cold turkey” akin to quitting “cold chicken”? :-)

[IamConservative]

As I looked down upon the body of my first cousin, dead at the age of 32, I decided quitting was for me. That was 8 years ago. It was hard withdrawing from the nicotine; nausea, itchy skin, grouchy, jumpy. Haven’t touched tobacco since. Quitting is the best present I ever gave myself.

Good luck to all trying. It is so beneficial to you. I would quit for you if I could.

I've cut down to one beer a day...

I recently quit for 5 weeks, then fail off the cart.
From 4 cartons a months to 2 now.

I will try again.

[No Blue States]

fail...fell..same thing in this context.

[TomServo]

Will do buddy...;-)

Some studies say a person has truly quit if that person uses no form of tobacco for 30 days. Others suggest it could take six months.

It's closer to 6 months.
