Ya know - After 3+ decades of smoking

[BobTheSubgenius]

59. You know the old saying:

"Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it dozens of times."

For me, that was somewhat true. I quit for over a year three different times, and 3 different ways. What I found the easiest was to set a time...."I'll have my next one at the top of the hour. I can hold out 20 more minutes."

Then, the top of the hour rolls around, and I'd think "THat wasn't SO bad. I can do another 15 minutes."

Each time, I wouldn't smoke a whole cigarette; I'd light it, take a couple of puffs, then put it out. Just enough to scratch the itch.

Eventually, and not that long, really - 3 weeks, I think - the durations between puffs got greater and greater until there was nothing but duration.

My son was 2 then. He'll be 38 in October. I think I've got it beat this time.

Oh, yeah. At my heaviest, I smoked the strongest filtered brand in Canada, and 50 a day of them.

All I can say is DO IT! Whatever it takes.

SO worth it.
