Milestones on the Road to Recovery

By , About.com GuideMay 25, 2011

Follow me on:

Over the years, smoking becomes thoroughly woven into  our activities and emotions, enslaving us in a powerful addiction we didn't sign onto when we lit that first cigarette years ago.

When we quit smoking, the transformation usually surprises us, bringing benefits we never imagined and strength we didn't think we had.

The personal stories included above are from folks like you and I who have reached out to share the milestones they've experienced as they moved through recovery from nicotine addiction.

Settle in and get a dose of inspiration, and if you're inclined, share your own milestone story as well.  We would love to hear from you!
