Read the accounts of those with 18 months or more as smoke-free. Life works better without cigarettes, and freedom from nicotine addiction is a gift beyond compare. ******************************** If you are currently smoking, it may be hard to imagine yourself as an ex-smoker with 15 years of freedom from the habit. Quitting can seem like a mountain. It's possible though, and you can quit just as surely as anyone else. It all starts with that first step of making the commitment to quit, and taking action. From there, learning to live your life free of the addiction you've been chained to for so many years is just a day-by-day process. Don't let smoking waste any more of your precious life. You won't regret it.
