For a number of you it has been a couple of weeks of success. For others, maybe you haven't made it so far. So here is some inspiration for ya. I smoked a pack sometimes a pack and a half for almost 10 years. I had tried to quit before, but it was only a "try". I lasted about 6 days before lighting up. For some time I had though about quitting. Last May 26th right before bedtime, I smoked the last cigarette from the last pack from the last carton I was going to buy. The next day I went to work with a box of toothpicks. It was hard for the first few weeks. But, I'm still smoke free. I still chew toothpicks, but at least its not most of the day, only occasional. At night I work out or keep myself busy in the garage or around the house. Two things really motivated me to quit smoking. Something about smoking for almost 10 years bothered me. Secondly, I wanted to start racing again. So I quit smoking and started racing. I wasn't as successful at the racing as when I was younger, but I had a blast. Its not so bad at 8 months. I did notice about 3 months ago after walking into a smoking break room at work that it really does smell, will bad!
