Reply #32: Eleven years for me April 1 -- I smoked two packs a day

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

The worst time was the first five days.... just remember that you PHYSICALLY don't need them after about three days. The first three months were tough, especially the first month... then after that I was basically okay.

Are you married, dating? Get that person to do something special every week you don't smoke. That's what mine did, and it helped so much... it was supportive, and gae me something to look forward to.

A caveat: I drank zero alcohol for about ten months... and didn't go to any clubs or bars during that time.

PM if you need any pep talks -- you CAN do it! Good for you!
