Quitting Smoking

I quit smoking about 18 or 19 years ago. I smoked quite a lot - two packs a day. And I started when I was all of about 13 years old - so I had smoked for 19 years when I finally quit.

It was hard to quit, but I did, and I'm very glad I quit.

Michele of A Small Victory is working on kicking the habit. I wish her well in doing so.

I will also admit, though, that even after all these years of not smoking, I dream about smoking from time to time and sometimes I would love to light up a cigarette, but I don't.

I probably quit smoking 4 or 5 times before I finally succeeded. It is possible to quit on your own- even without the nicotine patches and aids that are available.

So good luck, Michele. I know you can do it.
