Smoked for 40 years

I am 51 years old. I had smoked for 38 years and tried a million times to quit. I quit 9 years ago for over a year but when I went thru a difficult seperation and divorce I returned to smoking. On 12/07/2014 I was diagnosed with Pnuemonia and had difficulty breathing. I must say that scared me very much and I havnt had a cigg since. Every day is still a struggle but I turn it over to God and pray for the relief of cravings, It does help. I am hoping I can hear from others such as myself who struggle as well.
