Welcome to our little conclave. You will find many people here who have quit after many years of addiction. Your sister will tell you that it is a process and it surely is. For me it has been a matter of quitting from the inside out. We are addicts ensnared in a cycle that is self perpetuating. The important point to remember is that it is possible to break the cycle and once it is broken it takes practice and mindfulness to continue down the road. It gets easier over time and the effort is worth any thing you have to do to get there.
Stay close by here and post when you want to smoke, read when you want to smoke and learn as much as you can about the addiction. You can do this...
