[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 1771226, member: 817"] I started smoking in high school in the late 50s. Smoked two packs a day Camels or Luckies were my favorite, but liked Marlboro some also. Liked Cigars too. I was infantry recon as a young soldier and it hurt when I ran several miles in the morning. On May 1st, 1980 I woke up and reached for a cigarette but didn't because my lungs hurt. Got up and ran 6 miles. Came back and threw mine away. I've never looked back and nothing could make me smoke again. It was tough for a month or so but I used physical exertion to get my mind off it. Lots of running and lots of [I]sex[/I]. Actually, the toughest part for the next few years was walking thru the house and not reaching for one of my wife's cigarettes laying on a table. I had already beat the nicotine - that's the habit part. She smoked for 10 years after I quit. She quit when her Mother had lung cancer. Everyone has their own trigger to finally quitting. You just have to be stronger than the desire. There are many things in life more important than cigarettes. Nicotine is a drug. When you finally decide - you will quit. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
