  Easy for someone to say, who is less years old than the total number of years I\'ve smoked.

• sorry to hear about your friend, Jim  please don\'t give up on quitting, though.
  
  yesterday was rough for both of us, but we made it through without smoking--- hopefully, today will be even easier!

• Everyday you go without is a big victory.  
  Spoil yourself in other ways for staying strong.
  Don\'t listen to non-smokers who don\'t understand the achievement!  You know, those "2 days?!? big **** deal I\'ve gone my whole life" idiots.  (I\'d still love to smack the **** out of some of those people).
  
  It does get easier (I smoked for 11 years).  Those torturous sessions of wanting one so bad you could scream do serve a purpose.  Those nasty cravings are temporary.
  
  7 months for me, and I finally dropped the cigars too.

• I quit twice using commits, they definitely get ya past the cravings and outta the routines associated w/ smokes.
  
  but like an idiot, after close to a year w/out nicotine, I would start again for some dumb reason.
  
  why does something bad have to be so good?
  
  Best of luck, beat that sweet nicotine.  Your money and health will thankyou.
