A little more than ten years ago, my wife and I used this web site to help us stop smoking.
I still remember the first day, week, month and year. It really did get easier as time passed.
I have to admit, that after a year, I didn't "feel" like I needed to smoke anymore but, when I started, it seemed that milestone would never arrive.
Nine years after I reached that milestone, I have friends who tell me "I can't picture you as a smoker."
When I hear that, I laugh to myself and keep on thinking, one is too many and 1000 is never enough.
I haven't taken so much as a puff since I stopped smoking. I even haven't had a craving in years, but I will never let down my guard. I *still* use the tools I learned here.
To those of you who are just beginning the process, it can be done. I went from two packs a day to zero and have stayed that way for a decade.
You can too.
