Long Term Smoking Cessation

Saturday October 16, 2004
Will the urge to smoke ever go away? Will the day come when I don't even think about cigarettes?

When a person quits smoking, it's only natural to wonder what it feels like to have years of freedom from nicotine addiction. Read these accounts from people who have been smoke free for 18 months or more. Life works better without cigarettes, and freedom from nicotine addiction is a gift beyond compare!

Dee Quit Smoking 18 Months Ago
"The difference between now and 18 months ago is, neither my body or mind is demanding that I smoke a cigarette. I have the freedom of choice to smoke or not to smoke."

Michelle's 2 Year Milestone
"After 2 years without a cigarette, I have never felt freer. To those who are having a tough time right now, I say HOLD ON with everything you have. It will get better."

Terry at 2 Years Smoke Free
"Smoking is a way of settling for so much less than we deserve. It tends to trickle down into other areas of our lives, and once we drop the habit, changes are bound to happen all around."
