been smoking for 26 years...same story as you Mike...exactly..I have stopped for short periods a few times....I'm giving it a whirl again now, I have had maybe 6 cigs in the last 10 days..so no excuse for me not too...I can feel the urge has slowed way down.
Good luck Mike & Ross.....

Thumbs up

I smoked for over 25 years. At the end I was smoking 3 packs a day. If I can quit, 15 years now, anyone can. But it isn't easy. I used Nicorette, gum and Altoids. You gotta get mad at the butts, product of an international drug cartel. They monkey with the tobacco to make it more addictive so you remain "loyal". I think the reason that Nicorette helped is that it was a "cleaner" source of Nicotine. Sorta tapering off the high octane additives. Then less and less until finally done. Then Altoids. Good luck you can do it!

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Look at your watch , 1 second . 1 puff . 1 second of weakness . or 1 F it moment . I'll just have 1 . Your all done . Your mind will play tricks on you . You'll be smoking in your dreams . You'lll gain weight . You'll be a grouchy bastard.. and its all worth ,, Best thing I ever did for myself was quitting a 3 pack a day habit 20 yrs. ago . Its also the hardest thing I ever did by far . The physical part isn't as hard as the Mental . Its great not to be a slave to the tobbacco industry. Wait until your off the butts a while and a heavy smoker is in close quarters . Dammm , Did I stink like that smelly guy ? Yes you did ... If I can do it, you all can .. Just don't give in .. take it very personal .. Your in a fight for your life .. Good luck all ,, I'm pulling for you ..
