Hi to all trying to Quit, I know how tough it is. For me i was finally convinced to quit when one day 5 Oct 2011 after 30 years of smoking. I was hospitalized from an arrhythmia attack and my pacemaker had to shock me back from certain death. But me being optimistic that it couldn't be from smoking. So here I am in the hospital and begging the Drs and nurses to let me go outside and have a cigarette. Against Medical advice they let me. Well, I did it and took a few puffs then tried to go back to my room and was having problems breathing. The clincher for me was when I got into bed and put the finger probe back on and my O2 level was like 81. It was that moment by the Grace of God he convinced me I was being stupid. That was the last cigarette I ever had. And I'm glad I did because 6 years later I would probably not been approved to receive the heart I have now. So after leaving the hospital after quitting whenever I got the urge, I would eat pistachios. They say if you can take your mind off of the urge for 5 minutes the urge goes away. So the act of de-shelling the nut and eating it worked for me. Plus I believe a lot of help from God. And the reward was worth it all. No more fretting about long plane rides, I get to see the whole movie in a theater. And the biggest plus is my kids were so happy that I didn't smell anymore or that their friends didn't complain about smelling like smoke at school. I don't remember how long it took before I did not have the urge anymore but after about 6 months it turned into a challenge that if I start back up now I lost all that time. Good luck and you will love the new one.
