*** 90 Days ***
From a pack to a pack and a half a day for 40+ years to no smoking or nicotine of any kind... no alibis needed... no bail required... no bodies need hiding...
Who'd a thunk it!!!
OUTSTANDING!
That's will power.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! I quit February 7, 1991, after smoking up to 5 packs a day. I had Pneumonia 3 times the year before and was down to 120#. Best thing I ever did.

This is not about a jail sentence??
Congratulations. Keep up the good work . Nicotine is a powerful drug but a made up mind is more powerful !!!! It took me along time to quit dipping Copenhagen but I made my mind up to quite.
Very cool, food should start tasting better(so watch the added weight), and that is minor compaired to other health issues with smoking.
CONGRATS
edit to add,,put that 10 bucks a day into a jar and watch it add up.
Congrats! Don't ever think you can have one! Never.
Great job. Hardest thing I ever did was quitting a 2 pack a day habit for 38 years. It’s been 3 years now.
Great job, keep it up no matter what games your mind plays on you. I was 2 packs a day for 39 years. Quit May 10th, 2010 and never looked back. Just the thought of quitting was worse than the actual quitting. Good luck to you. Stand your ground!
Good job my man. The only way to quit is to quit. No step down, no substitute. Just quit. You'll tell a difference soon.
I quit cold turkey 8 years ago after smoking a pack and a half a day for 36 years. Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I never even have the urge for one anymore. In fact the smell of cigarette smoke is repulsive to me now.
Awesome!
Has anyone you're close with offered you to go get you a pack yet?

Rock on my man!
Tough to do, but keep on the train. Congrats!
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!

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.

Way to go!
Been almost 30 years for me now.
Well done on sticking to your decision!

Sorry to hear 63 is that bad. Did you have a hard paper route! ? I wish I was as good today as 63, I do things slower now!
My wife quit 25 years ago.
I didn't notice for 2 years... I was wondering why she got so grumpy...
Congrats. Stay the course!
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...
good news! I am 32 years quit, glad of it!
OUTSTANDING! Wish I had that kind of willpower.
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
Congrats! Don't ever think you can have one! Never.
That is correct.

congratulations......I'm now 23 years tobacco free and 15 1/2 years alcohol free.....stopped both cold turkey and settled in for a fight......and I won….big time.
Watch your weight now too.
Dont do like I did!
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!
Congrats!
Wish my dad had not smoked.
I miss him.
Great to hear that. I quit about 40 years ago. Best thing I've ever done with regard to quality of life.
One word of caution - Food tastes better and after a while your pants don't fit anymore... My belts also must have shrunk too.
Last smoked in 1969 cold turkey from one and a half packs a day. Hang in there!
Congrats...... Years ago when I quit; I figured out how much money I spent weekly on those damn things. I put that much money into an envelope in the gun safe every week. So my pocket money for other things stayed the same but the money in the safe kept piling up. I have bought rifles, scopes, reloading stuff, etc. that were paid for with money saved by not smoking. It was also a nice incentive to stay quit when I got the urge to smoke. Never have any desire anymore and don't even like the smell of someone smoking.
Congrats & hang in there !!!! You should have it whipped by now.
