Ninety days
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I had to take a shot of my inhaler before I could get back to sleep. This is but one of many reasons why I will not pick up cigarettes again.
It is not productive to live in the past. Still, if I could turn back time, I’d point out to my younger self the health issues I would be facing by twenty-five years of inhaling nicotine-heavy carbon monoxide fumes from chemically enriched tobacco products. Maybe I’d listen.
At least going forward I never have to pick up another cigarette. The weak moments will be fewer and I’ve learned from my previous attempts when the hardest parts are—after three months.
The best thing is that three months without cigarettes was my goal. I’ve done this now. I’m a non-smoker today, and I never ever ever want to be a smoker again!

GOOD FOR YOU!
I wish I could do it.I NEED to do it,big time.I keep getting pneumonia and the doctors INSIST smoking is one of the leading causes of it....but yet and still....I puff away.Pretty smart,huh? Especially since I almost died w/ 2 of the pneumonia stays in the hospital.Fluid builds in my lungs cutting off oxygen into my brain,and twice when I was under,they said I may be a veggie when I came to.....so I REALLY need to knock it off.What's the biggest tip you got for me? Or what got you thru even the 1st few days?
