I'm going to try to tell my story soon(when I can get my brain and fingers to function together) but right now I'm proud to say Jan. 24, 2011 was my last day to smoke!!!!!!!
After over 40 years of smoking.....4-5 strokes and 2 Tia's (all left frontal brain lobe) since this past Veterans day. I may very well die next month, or tomorrow, but I can GUARANTEE I won't have a cigarette in my hand if I do. To be continued(don't know when or where  ). Thanks for listening.

This thread ought to be a sticky or at least someone should make a comment so it will come to the top about once a week like it just did.
Lets help others quit if they are ready.. The more positive support, success stories, failure admissions, funny tales and tragic tales we tell the more we will share a desire not to be controlled by the Virginia/Kentucky drug peddlers. Can you believe they will put you in jail for possession of pot yet cigs and booze is legal? ****ED UP backwards world! |

Just saw this thread, so I'll put in my two cents' worth. I quit smoking on September 15, 1971---hardest (and best) thing I ever did. My wife and I both quit the same day and it took us about a year to get over the longing. I think you have to get past a full year of holidays, birthdays, parties, etc. I went out to eat lunch at an Indian casino here in Tucson the other day and saw long lines of cars with people waiting to get discount cigarettes. Made me realize if I hadn't stopped almost forty years ago I'd probably be dead now. If not, I sure as heck wouldn't have had the money to build my racecar.
Hang in there. Jim

Mike, it will always be a temptation to start again. The 'urge' never goes completely away... it only gets less frequent over time. Once you know that, it helps to quit.
Best thing to do is break the habits where you smoked more. That will help too. Coffee and beer always =s a cigarette if you are a smoker and like the other two too.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
