It's Been 3 Years....

My Son's Birthday Too!!

Well peeps, I just wanted to say that today marks 3 years since I quit smoking, after 32 years of being a slave to nicotine! It was, without a doubt, the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Well, other than meeting my wife.

Anyway, just wanted to give you all the opportunity to celebrate with me!    WOOT!!!   :beer: 3* :D 3*

Jim, I personally feel you've done the greatest job on earth but please tell me how you quit it?

I started smoking around 5 years back when I  just used 2-3 cigarettes a day but now im almost an addict and it has gone upto around 20 !!

Many times i've tried quitting it but just land up cutting down on the numbers.

Way to go Jim! I gave it up ten years ago myself after smoking around 30 years! Just decided to quit one day and threw everything away and never went back. No patches, no nothing, cold turkey.  It's all in your mind, control that and you can quit too if you are still a smoker!  :P
