Agree with posters above - no one knows how hard it is unless you've been there. I quit in 1999.

I went to a 12-Step program in a building where all the 12-Step programs ran 24/7. Down the hall was Narcotics Anonymous. Every once in awhile, they'd come to the Smokers Anonymous room by mistake. Once they realized, they practically laid skid marks backing out the door.

It was said in that building that our group was the last one they'd go through, after quitting alcohol and heroin. They were terrified of quitting smoking.

Treat yourself to some goodness today. You deserve it!
