Had my last cigarette on Wednesday morning March 17 @ 11AM . This Sh*t ain't easy, but I think the worst is over.

It amazing how much better I feel after only 4 days . I also noticed this morning that my heart rate on the treadmill dropped from 102 @ 3.6 MPH, to 92. And, at 3.8 MPH it never went over 95. :shock:

Good going, George!

I had my last in '88. Put them down and never looked back.

Miss a good briar pipe from time to time...possibly a cigar...more for the taste than for the nicotine or anything else which goes with smoking.

I should have done it a long time ago Fred, but better late than never I guess.

Your gear will appreciate being smoke-free too. That is, if you ever smoked around the stuff.

I have a TS-820S whose PA band switch wafers were burned up because of excess cigarette smoke contamination. The fact that smoking could do that kind of damage to a piece of electronic gear - let alone a person's lungs - really opened my eyes. There were a couple other factors which aided my decision to quit, but the contamination aspect played a big part.

My mother smoked for a large part of her life "...but didn't inhale..." :roll:

I am still dealing with the aftereffects of her habit WRT cleaning up the house I inherited. One room at a time, all of the walls are getting scrubbed, stripped and re-painted. Eventually I'll re-carpet it as well.

I did not quit smoking. I am not a quitter! I made my "personal decision" to stop smoking on June 16, 2002.

I had tried everything... gum (That tastes like s&#t!), patches (I couldn't keep the damn things lit!), Wellbutrin aka Zyban (Which is actually an anti-depressant. I felt great, but it didn't help me stop smoking!), and hypnosis. What finally did it was auricular therapy. This is where you get tiny jolts of electrical current at specific spots around your ears! I had smoked anywhere from 2-3 packs a day... EVERY DAY... for over 25 years and this is the only thing that worked! The best part... NO WITHDRAWAL symptoms!

Whatever method you used... good luck!

Congratulations George! Hang in there man.

I really need to do that...and thanks for mentioning how much better you feel.
I'm in the process of intentionally cutting back, but should just drop'em altogether.

I totally respect and am impressed with those who can quit. Congratulations George and to you as well Fred. That is very enlightening.
