8. It's a tough habit to quit. Mr Gray works with people to help them stop
It's torture watching them.

16. Congrats, I've tried cold turkey about 3 times
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 04:17 AM by applexcore
and always fail. I've only been smoking heavy for about 2 1/2 years too.

I always think of how relaxed I am when I'm smoking and end up starting again. I really want to quit just for the negative image/hygiene it gives off, or at least be able to just smoke maybe 5 a day. I don't see how people do that, I've always been at a pack or more a day.

23. Fantastic! Keep it up!!!
I quit 12 years ago, also cold turkey, and never looked back. I can't even be in the same room as smoke now. It makes me sick to smell it on people too. I guess it's true what they say about former smokers being the worst critics. Good luck!!!!

24. I quit 3 months ago and feel great about it. I rarely have any craves.
I'm so proud. I cannot believe it took me so many years to quit.
