I quit cold turkey on December 2, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Anyone can do it.
I highly recommend Allen Carr's book The Easy Way To Stop Smoking
This book simply gives perspective to the act of smoking. It doesn't focus on the money or the health issues. You already know all about that. It focuses on the freedoms that you sacrifice by choosing to smoke. Don't let anyone tell you that you aren't allowed to smoke. Instead, tell them that you choose not to, and that you have found freedom.
I don't know where all of the money that I was supposed to be saving went and I guess I kind of feel better knowing that at least I am dying slower now. The driving force that keeps me away from cigarettes is the freedom that I enjoy every day; flipping the bird to the master that used to own me.
Nobody can make you stop smoking. In fact, just thinking about it makes you want to smoke more. I know.
Don't quit smoking today. Quit smoking when you are ready.
But never stop getting ready.
