 | When I quit smoking, the quit stories of those who had overcome nicotine addiction successfully appealed to more than anything else. About.com Smoking Cessation has hundreds of these stories in the permanent library, with more being added often. This week's newsletter highlights some you may have not seen. Settle in with a cup of tea and get inspired! Have a great week, all. |
| The Freedom is Incredible
 From Kathy: "I loved smoking from the very first drag. No coughing, no "learning how" for me. I quickly worked my way up to at least a pack a day from then until Dec. 1, 2011 when I finally quit. I thought of quitting at various times during those 40 years...I'd tell myself I'd quit at 35, 40, definitely when I hit 50! Those ages came and went and I still smoked. I smoked through 3 pregnancies, and I smoked through my dad's death from lung cancer."
| All That I Learned in One Year
 From Jen: "Care for yourself. The single best piece of advice given to me was "Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend who is trying to achieve something important." Eat well, get lots of rest, take a hot bath, meditate, read a book, take a walk. Do things that nourish your soul."
| Practice Makes Perfect
 From Ellen: "I smoked for many years, telling myself and anyone who would listen that it was not a problem for me, that I could quit any time. I just didn’t choose to quit, and to a large extent that was true. It wasn't until my late 30's that I began to realize how difficult it was to quit smoking. I became a perpetual quitter."
| Two Years Ago, Cigarettes Were My Best Friend
 From Lesly: "Two years ago, I was a smoker. My cigarettes were my best friend and most constant companion. I could not walk from one room to the next without my cigarette pack and lighter firmly gripped in my hand. I could not sleep through the night without getting up and spending time with my "best buddy". "
