It will be 4 years for me this next March
3-4 packs a day - while on the phone trying to upsell something, usually, 1 in the ashtray, 1 hanging from my lips and reaching for the pack to see how many where left. If less than 1/2 a pack i would start to go into panic mode thinking about how to get more.....
Holy M of Ch***.. , how did I not go insane doing that? I do not miss it for a second.
I sometimes see someone lighting up and think - man, does that look good, thinking about taking that long draw and feeling relaxed...
Then i laugh at myself, the guy who finally is taking deep breaths, can actually walk up a flight of stairs without breathing hard, who when smells the breath of a smoker wonders if my breath smelled like an ashtray too... I wonder how people can afford it anymore, they are 10 dollars a pack around here now... amazing...
Put 10 dollars a day into an un-openable container for a year... go on a cruise or something - you will have earned it..
Good luck, you can do it, as many times that you think you want to do it again-and you will - there are many more times that you will be glad you don't anymore, I guar - ahh - dam - tee - it .... just fight through the urge.... takes about 20 seconds at most - how simple is that?
