Hi Folks,
I have just over 18 months sober, but still smoke. I run 40 miles a week, and training for my second Half Marathon. But, I can't quit. I've tried Chantix, and cold turkey. I need help and advice. Smoking is a waste of money, and terrible for my health. Maybe if I'm accountable to this group it will help. I'm 36 and need to quit.
Matthew

I quit the cigars at age 65 and I am now one month shy of 83.

The cancer sticks would have killed long ago if I had not got pneumonia.

You may be unique, but I hope not cause unique is terminal.

Hi Matt. Good to see you here. I found that cold-turkey was the best way for me to quit. The first few days/weeks can be a bit rough, but the knowledge that it wouldn't last and all the nicotine would soon be out of my system really helped. Support and taking it one day at a time helped me too. Early on, having some gum or hard candy around can be helpful to distract oneself and satisfy that oral craving.

24 more for me.
