4. Here's the site I've used.......
http://v5.stopsmokingcenter.net/

and I really can not believe it's been 5 years already.....I must confess though, I still think of having a smoke lots of times. I smoked a pack a day and sometimes two on weekends, and quitting was the hardest thing I ever did. Good luck. :thumbsup: :pals: :fistbump: :yourock: :woohoo: :applause:

5. I have a friend who quit about 6 weeks ago
SHe puts money in a jar equal to what she would have paid for smokes.
She just cashed it into 2 hundred dollar bills. I believe she is planning a trip with the savings.
