Attaboy!
I started rolling my own at age 12, and carried that habit into my 20's. One of the few things I am grateful to my ex for is making me ditch the tobacco.
30 years later. still want to light up occasionally. Still don't.

Awesome!
Has anyone you're close with offered you to go get you a pack yet? I carried a pack with me for a couple of weeks. Stubborn is the only way to go! 15 years later I only occasionally want one, or two. But I fight the urge. I'd feel like hell if'n I kept it up, I know that for a fact. Drowning in phlegm is no way to go. KEEP QUIT!

Well,....congratulations, I guess.
But living a long time just means that you're going to be an old, slobbering, brain dead fugger in the nursing home eating your kids inheritance up.
I don't mean to dissuade you. Do it 'till you got enough. Live long and like it.
But if 63 feels like this,...I'm not real excited to see what 85 is.

My wife quit 25 years ago.
I didn't notice for 2 years... I was wondering why she got so grumpy...

Congrats... its a smart thing to do, by quitting..
but a dumb thing to ever start....
I pray it extends your healthy life by a lot..
it is one way I have been blessed in life..
never had the desire, always hated to be around it as a kid..
never started, even when it was suppose to be 'cool'...
never had ONE puff off of it or anything else you can smoke..
and am thankful for it... especially when I see and recall those I have seen pass away from it in my life time.
watch your patients die in an Army Hospital of lung cancer, was one of my life's worse experiences..
you couldn't really do nothing for them, and then dealing with the sadness they had done it all to themselves.
I use to call it the silent, long term suicide...
so congrats.. its the smartest thing anyone could ever do...

A pack a day could cost $180 a month , give or take. Money up in smoke.

"no bodies need hiding..." Right.... so what happened... the tide just naturally came up and washed them all away?  Next Month will be 34 years for me. Funny story, while I was in the cold turkey stage I was chewing toothpicks like a wood chipper.... took a breath and one of the chunks got stuck in the back of my throat..... I would have died really mad if I hadn't been able to hack that out.... Congratulations
Please don't feed the trolls!

Congratulations! Don't take your foot off the gas as they say. It will sneak up on you once in a while. Don't give in, not even a drag. Coming up on 12 years here for me and i can't imagine going back, but every once in a while something will trigger me. Stay strong!
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
