    I quit smoking 3 months ago today. Havent had a single one either. I stopped using any aid more than 1 1/2 months ago. I still have the urge from time to time to smoke though.

    I just keep telling myself I am doing this for my entire family, not just me. I want to be around when my daughters make me a grandparent. My dad would have been a grandparent for the first time last month when my daughter was born. He died from lung cancer due to smoking 4 years ago this christmas eve. His loss.

    ^good job. I just love it when I walk by people at school that are smoking and you can just tell how cool they think they are. I believe that the movies have always had a big impact on portraying the cigg as something sly and mysteriously cool people do.

    Stopped smoking a little over 2 yrs ago. Got a cold, smoked the rest of my pack, and after I felt better never smoked again. Cold turkey no aids. You just have to truely want to quit for yourself. Nothing matters if your mind isn't fully made up.

    I just realized I've been a smoker for 10 years. Time to seriously think about quitting, lol.

    the longest i have been able to go is like a week or two...everytime that i try to quit i get really emotional, and that makes chuck mad, and either i break down and buy more, or he buys them for me...he doesn't bitch at me about it anymore, we've been together almost 2 years and i didn't smoke when we first got together but we broke up for like a month and i started back then(i had smoked and quit before we got together the first time)...cold turkey doesn't work unless you actually want to quit...you have to quit for yourself not for someone else.

    true, but you can use other people as your motivation.

    ^ agreed... none of my friends smoke.. so when we would go out i was the only person smoking... it got to the point where i was used to not doing it around everyone... i was ready to quit so i talked to my doctor... i had heard that wellbutron was an aid to stop.. so i got on it and after about a week my urges weakend.. then once i ran out of ciggs i just never bought anymore... (and i was a regular smoker)

    i still have the urge every once and awhile but i wont let myself give in... i feel great now that i quit and i thank my friends for being so supportive through my ordeal... i still get kinda bitchy sometimes but they know why...
