3 1/2 years as a non smoker after smoking for 45 years

To all of you that are on your journey of becoming a non smoker, believe in yourself that you can do it...it doesn't matter how many times you have tried keep on trying. I smoked for 45 years and due to the persistence of my doctor to try champax I eventually agreed to give it a go, I had previously tried everything you can think of to give up the smokes without long term success.  But after being on the champax for 4 months the smokes no longer had any appeal at all.  I have been a non smoker for 3 1/2 years now and don't miss them at all in fact when I smell cigarette smoke I find it repulsive. Hard to believe but oh so true. There is no way this is an easy journey but so worth the commitment to stop.......my reward in 2015 to celebrate 4 years as a non smoker is with money I have saved from being a non smoker my wife & I are going on a 4 month world cruise & I feel so great that I have paid for it from giving up smoking. If I can do it after 45 years there is every reason to stick with the non smoker journey, just think what you will do with the money you save.
