who here has quit smoking

I didn't quit for the health benefits... Just got tired of having stains on my fingers and smelling like them all the time. lol.. Aside from that I'd love to start smoking again, but oh well, already quit so too late now.

I had a similar situation. I was happy smoking. Everybody else in my family wasn't, but it wasn't a bother to me. I smoked for over 15 yrs. Real smoker, not just social smoker.

I tried the gums...didn't work. I tried the patches....worked, but I'd fall off the bandwagon rather quick. I tried the pills.....worked somewhat, but I hated how I felt so I stopped taking them.

I ended up quitting when I made a bet with my daughter, who hated me smoking anyway, that if she got all A's in school I'd quit. Lo and behold, she did. So, I did as promised and quit. Cold turkey. It's been years since that.

I still get cravings every so often, but I won't even think about cheating on that even once. I know if I do, I'll go right back to smoking again.

The patches and pills would've worked for me, had I had my heart into it. I would recommend either one if you are serious about quitting.
