Quit Smoking Success Stories

Monday October 4, 2004
The Quit Smoking Stories section of this site is a compilation of contributions from Forum members who hope that sharing how they have quit smoking successfully may help others quit for good.

Newest contributions include:

Tammy Quit Smoking
"How many times have I thought about quitting? How many times have I tried to quit? The answer is…I don’t have a clue. I really really wanted to quit smoking and I really thought that I could whenever I felt like it. I thought that it would be easy if I really wanted it bad enough..."

Starkik's Quit Smoking Story
"For most of my life, cigarettes have been my crutch. I've always been very shy. I used to be very emotional. You can hide these things behind a smoke screen, did you know?"

People quit smoking every day of the year. While the relapse rate during the first year of smoking cessation is high, those who quit with a solid support system in place have a much better chance of kicking the habit permanently. Visit About.com's Smoking Cessation Forum for some of the best support to help you quit smoking available anywhere.
