I just happened to refer to this article elsewhere, so I am placing my comment here as well. I was supposed to quit before my first sons birth that was thirteen yrs ago, then before my 2nd sons birth, that was 11 yrs ago. Also was supposed to quit just about every birthday and new years for the past years. I smoked a pack a day since 17, I am 35 now. I tried to quit several times throughout the years but the longest tme I went w/o smoking was only 2 days...until now. I am 4 weeks without smoking now, cold turkey. I often thought before quitting how would I enjoy certain things I use to do while smoking all these years. To my surprise I am enjoying everything, every second and even more. During the first 24 hrs of my quitting I found an article online called "Never Take Another Puff" and the first chapter alone helped me. It helped me to understand what I really enjoyed about smoking was actually the pleasure of my body getting it's nicotine fix and relieving me of that momentary withdrawl. And thats basically "smoking" relieving yourself of that nicotine withdrawl that you'll experience all day, everyday. I struggled for the first three days and made that...finally. I still struggled a bit here and there but it gradually became easier reaching the two week mark and now I am through. I don't want any kind of nicotine in my body ever again. I hope the best for everyone on their quiting and don't get to hung up on a date your probably ready right now.
