the first cigarette I smoked I was eleven. The first time I quit was after high school. When I started College, it was just too cool that we were allowed to smoke in class, I started smoking again. The second time I quit that I was serious was at age 32 yrs. It took me 3 years and 40 lbs, but I did it. For like 17 years I was quit and then 3 years ago, I was having an innocent drink with a friend and he was smoking, I said, "gimme one of those". After that I couldn't get them into my mouth fast enough, I was hooked, again. The next day I was up to basically a 25 pack a day. Just crazy. I have been quit since August 21, 2018. I finally grew up to the dangers, to the chunk out of my finances, and the fact that I only enjoyed so few of the hundreds I was smoking in a week. It's a strong addiction for me so I don't take it lightly, but I am done. This group has really helped especially the phone calls and the encouragement from other quitters, thx. Whoa, it is hard to quit, for sure!!!
