Once again, the hope is to lay down the cigarettes for good. Quit date is set for Jan 1.

As a heavy smoker for just over 40 years (I even forced myself to smoke with morning sickness due to both pregnancies!), I tried quitting on my own several times. Read on the internet where the nicotine is out of body after 72 hours, and then the rest is just habit or some such.

What worked for me was GOD.....so when I say, Thank God, I really mean it.

I knew for myself that after trying to quit numerous times, I wasn't gonna bullshit myself. At the same time, I was afraid to ask God because I didn't want to be the one that sullied His reputation.

But one evening, I literally rolled it over on Him. Told Him I couldn't do it on my own (He already knew that) and asked for the strength to make it thru one urge to smoke at a time. I went to bed with that in my prayers and woke with those prayers.

I left a near full pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, alongside the lighter and an ashtray. I wasn't going to try to 'shit myself'.

I can honestly say I never had a craving for a single (or a lot) puff off a cigarette since that evening. If even the image of a cigarette crossed my mind, I merely asked God for another dose of strength.

May will start my FIFTH year of smoke free. People smoking around me doesn't bother me---it just doesn't interest me.

The big benefit besides showing that God is awesome and in charge, better health, more $$$ to spend or save........I can tell the liberal do-gooding congresscowards to kiss my ass on my footing the bill for health insurance for others when they've driven the costs up to the point that I can't afford it!!!

Heya chick!

That same similar situation worked for the booze with me. I forget sometimes how damn hard that was to give it up. I can be around it now and others snookered off their ass and it does not bother me in the slightest. Congrats on 5 years:) to you and JT
