I smoked over 30 years, even through hard chemotherapy, I tried to quit so many times! I would last 3 days, a week, or a month. Then when I crushed my right side in an accident, I was in the hospital for two weeks, and I promised myself when I got out all I had to do was not start again. Easier said than done, I just had to keep reminding myself, I wanted to quit, now is my chance. Six years down the road, I am still reminding myself occasionally, especially when I have pain from something. Pain somehow reminds my brain to smoke, go figure. So far so good!
