I Quit Smoking

@kingkyri. Well done and good luck. I smoked at least 20 a day sometimes starting a second pack if I had a long day, from about age 19 for two years or so then I quit coldturkey. Forty years later I was still dreaming at night that I lit up and I would wake up in a cold sweat and feeling remorseful. Then it dawned on me that dreams don't give you cancer, they're free and they provide temporay relief from the withdrawls. I stopped worrying and decided to just enjoy them. That is when the dreams stopped. I started smoking because most of my friends smoked, one of the most stupid things I have ever done. I am now free of it. It would have been better not start but at age 19 my peer group was more important to me than life itself. If you're reading this because you are thinking of taking up smoking, save yourself a sh_t load of grief and quit while you still can.
