Hello to all who are perusing this site. The weekend is a quiet time here with not much posting going on. If you're new here or just browsing and are contemplating stopping smoking you've come to the right place. If someone had told me a few short years ago that I'd be smoke free today I'd say that they were probably crazy. The truth is anybody that has the desire to stop smoking can and will if they want to. It was a choice to start and realizing that it's a choice that you can make to pack it in ( no pun intended ) can therefore become possible. If you're new here , relax , read through some old posts and get ready to start living a new and better life. I'm betting on the underdog. I'm betting on the pack a day smoker that didn't have a smoke today. I'm rooting for the newbie in the near term that didn't realise that they had a choice. The people that used to sell me cigarettes didn't smoke because they were smarter than I used to be. I didn't like feeling like a sucker so I quit. The secret is out and that is anyone can stop if they want to. What about you ? Nobody has to tell me that you can do it because I know that you can and we'll be here when you make the choice. Yay for you. breather
