No way! Me who could barely go 70 minutes without a smoke, has been smoke free 7 years and I actually lost count of the time. Unreal!
I'm so glad to be able to type the line above. Quitting was the greatest thing I ever did and it changed my life in so many ways. I'm a totally different person. So much happier, successful, grounded, stable, and alive. My dad has COPD and everyday I listen as he struggles for breath. I thank God for the strength and for those on this very site that helped me give up this horrible addiction.
I may have lost count on the days but I won't ever forget those who helped me as I kicked, screamed and cried along the way. I am eternally grateful.
If you think quitting is impossible, just don't lite that next cigarette and you will turn that impossible in to possible.
One phrase I always held on to as I was getting over smoking was "every day is one day closer to never feeling this way again." It took a really long time but somewhere along the road I started to feel better and began to live my new life. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I have ever done, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. You can keep those stinky cigarettes. I don't want one!
Live your life and stop being a slave to the cigarettes! You CAN do it!!!!
