Shoes, quitting smoking successfully in 1984 is my claim to fame. I didn't think it was affecting me (after smoking for 20 years) but I had a Spirometer test and my lung capacity had dropped from 100% to 75%. No symptoms but the doc said I probably wouldn't notice until I got down to 15%! For me, that was incredibly motivating. I had recently gotten a divorce and had a 12-year old and I didn't want to let her down. If I could quit drinking as easily (though quitting smoking was not easy), I'd be deliriously happy!
