I hit 4 mos. on Friday of not smoking. God, it is nice not to have to be a slave to that. Most everyone I'm around smokes and they think that I'm an asshole about not smoking, but I dont really care because if I'm militant about not smoking it makes it harder to give in when that occasional thought pops into your head , that you would like to have a smoke.

If you want to escape the nico-demons, get up off your butt and live life!! Do something, anything. 88 days without a smoke.

I watched my dad die from a smoking related illness and I always had to step outside and light one up. That is fucking stupid!!!!!!! If you are new and just starting this journey, dont stop 5min. before the miracle happens...........Richard

Smoking is am obsesion. All the pain I've ever had in my life comes from my obsessions. All the freedom I have in my life today comes from walking away from those obsessions. I think I'll keep walking...for today
