How & why did you quit?

I remember a saying that the more times you try the more successful you will be. I have been saying for years that I would stop when it is more uncomfortable for me to smoke than not to, and 1997 that time came when I developed a daily coughing bout that left me breathless and exhausted by the time I gained control. I started with the patch for a week, but having to take it off before I go to bed, I found that I was having withdrawal symptoms each night. Withdrawals are supposed to last for only a few days, so after a week, I stopped using them. After 11 years I still have a periods lasting a few seconds when I am tempted, even after all the trouble I went through to get to where I'm at. But it is a lot easier once you get over that first hump.

Well during the summer I used to smoke. It only lasted about 3 or 4 months, and I quit because I started having asthma attacks. Thankfully, I was never completley addicted to it, so my struggle to quit wasn't very difficult. I appluad you for your decision to stop smoking. Keep trying, and good luck!
