    A big congratulations for quiting! It is a huge accomplishment.
    The first week is the true test of your ability to fight the urge, if you even had them.
    After this point, you are home free!
    To whatever degree you think smoking was bad, multiply that by 100 at a minimum.

    Trust me....I know.

    And that gorgeous daughter of yours deserves a smoke free father.

    Keep It up.

    We will meet at an sgv brunch or at an fca or like function.

    Be well

    wow I missed this the first time around. Congratulations!!! I stopped a pack a day habit on Feb 17th of 1992 cold turkey. It was not easy, but something just clicked that I had to do it. I had urges to smoke for a full year afterwards, but managed to not give in. I know what you are going through it is not easy, but you will be SOO much happier in the long run!

    To be honest Eric,

    It hasn't really been that difficult..

    No major urges where I am fighting off running to the market to buy cigarettes.

    I knew it would be easy :) It's a mind game, and my mind has G A M E ! :D

    I started going to the gym. I smoked for 8ish years and I'm still kind of young. all my friends started smoking, then seeing others do it, I realized how gross it is, and how much they smell. I started going to the gym and eating healthier and such and I lost the urge completely.

    Chris, congrats I can relate. 7/22/07 I quit after 30 years. I was a true junkie. I mean it; a junkie.




    Chantix is what did it for me. It took 3 tries, but I made it.
    Don't give up if you smoke. Try again.

    Big congrats, huge!

    If you get the urge, just go to the airport and watch the folks in the plexiglass rooms sucking away. If that doesn't make you want to stay clean, nothing will.
