Considering how much my life was ruled by cigs with every aspect of my daily routine scheduled around smoke time while erroneously believing that I couldn’t live without smoking I still take my quit very seriously. One puff and i’ll be right where I was 900 days ago - addicted. Been there and never want to go back. It’s not easy but most definitely can be done with t...

After 53 years of smoking daily I quit cold-turkey on July 12, 2012. Since that day I have battled numerous problems that in one way or another sprang from my 53 year addiction to nicotine.
