Today, Christmas day is my 55th day smoke free, smoker for 35 years, I quit cold turkey and went from more than one pack a day to cero. It was a very hard decision, it is like letting go a very dear friend, and I still feel I need something to hold on to. This site has been very helpful, when I read about people that are going through the same renewal as I.
To all those who are just starting, it does get easier and never doubt your decision, it is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones.
