HIGHWAYMAN. WOW, thats great. I've been tobacco free for about 11 years now. I smoked and chewed about 30 years. I still miss it some. If I thought I could smoke one and not go back to them I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I know I can't. After 5 weeks you have it made. Stick with it friend. I smoked cigarets, pipe, and cigars. POWDERMAN.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Keep it up! The decision to quit smoking was one of the best things you could do for yourself.

Thats great!  Every time you suppress the urge it will be easier next time you have to.  Its been 36 years for me. It made it much easier to hunt the high country.

23 years for me.It was what my son wanted for his 5th birthday. I'm still thanking him for getting me to quit.

Congratulations.

Don't let your guard down, and "just one cigarette won't hurt" is a lie.

Congratulations.  This is a very smart move, one I made several years ago and have never regreted.

You may not think about it until you quit, but isn't it amazing how many sick floks you see still puffing on them.  I watched a fellow at the hospital a while back, he was on oxygen, in a wheel chair, yet he still managed to roll himself out to the parking lot in 100 degree weather and light up.  He was lighting one off another for about thirty minutes or so.  I bet the nurses thought he smelled like crap when he returned to his ward.

I have witnessed firsthand the pain and suffering a person goes through as a result of smoking, my wife has COPD, she has to have oxygen to sleep, needs a breathing treatment several times a day, and her physical activity is very limited, she can't walk without stopping to rest it ain''t pretty and something you wouldn't wish on anyone, but I couldn't convince her to quit smoking when I did many years ago, she continued to cough and lite up, today she wishes she had taken my advice.

Great, and look forward to the day cigarette smoke stinks, even makes you feel sick.  Happens to all of us that quite.  At that point some become Anti-smokers.  The strongest Anti-smokers are ex-smokers.

That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
