Congratulations.!!! Keep it up. You can do it. Not much more important than your health.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

wp, I didn't know you smoked. Good to hear you are on the road to being smoke free. I quit Thanksgiving day 2007. Almost 17 years ago and don't miss it. I did it with Nicorette gum.

Congrats. Hope you can stick with it. I quit cold turkey in 2007 after having a dream that I coughed up an entire black lung. I started having the occasional cig again around 2015 but only once or twice a year. I really enjoy smoking when the weather is right but I have to fight the urge.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Cold turkey this past Sunday. I sure do want to celebrate that with a cigarette. I quit smoking almost 40 years ago, threw my only pack in the trash, gave away my lighter, still would love to have a Kool every now and then.

81 yoa and I started as a teen. I quit and re started about a dozen times. I counted the days and was proud of myself. That was a mistake because I was obsessing about it. I always went back.
Sometime year or 2 back, don’t know when, I decided to not do it anymore. Still off and never had a withdrawal Urge. I’m done. Now walk a mile a day unless it’s raining or I’m on the road.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

WP, it has to stick. Too many of my high school buddies are gone or are going fast. Can’t see much benefit to not being here.

The worst folks about cig smoke smell are former smokers…I find the irony amusing.
Good luck WP…

Last pack I bought was 85¢ I swore no one would ever pay more than a dollar. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExYmFlZWs3eTU1M3A0cXU3ZTYxN2cyN3p5d29oMXk4ejZ5OG9nbG02aCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/Vccpm1O9gV1g4/giphy.gif)

When we went to sea and got past the 12 mile boundary. Marlboros (Reds) were 25 cents a pack. Zero taxes. Quit smoking 10-15 years ago. Now I (only) dip. Red Seal Longcut Wintergreen. A can lasts about 3 days. Started dipping back in 1980 once I got to my Border Patrol station. Smoking, at night, on the banks of the Rio Grande River is bad for your health.

You can do it sir! I did the same and I’m at 23 days. First 2 weeks my patience was nonexistent, wanted to rip peoples heads off just for saying hello. I’m much better now and I’m on the other side of the cravings. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/09/full-4932-432345-img_2589.jpeg)

My mom started smoking in her teens and quit cold turkey in her 60's. She died from lung cancer four years ago at age 84. Best of luck folks! You can do it!!

Happy for you Chris keep it up. Start a coffee can bank and put the money you would have spent on smokes in there and buy you some nice shooting accessories.
On the dark side smoking has killed a lot of my close family members way too soon.

I quit 15 years ago. I had to quit drinking beer and coffee for 6 months. I started back up on the beer but coffee will never taste the same without a cigarette. The only time I miss a smoke is when I’m driving down the road watching the sun come up. I used to drink at least a pot and smoke a half pack before the sun got up. That’s the best part of a salesman’s day!
Stick with it! If I can quit anyone can.

I saw some guys start when I was in the USAF. When the DI said “Smoke ‘em if you’ve gottem” it became a privilege.
