      Thank you /u/drunkenninja. It's funny to me that after trying so many times and having such difficulty with quitting, that final time was so easy. Even with my husband still smoking I was never tempted, and I never even think about smoking, don't miss it in the least. I too applaud those that are trying to stop and have already quit. It's quite the task to give up such an integral part of ones life. So to all you wanna-be-ex-smokers....you got this! When the time is right you will be able to just walk away. One thing I did different that final time was buy a pack of cigarettes and stash it in the freezer. Every other time I would frantically smoke down to the last one then spend all my time thinking about how desperately I craved a cigarette. But with the pack stashed away just sitting there waiting for me if I needed it, it wasn't about never having one again, it became about simply not opening the pack. That comforting knowledge took the pressure off and was the just the trick I needed to finally quit smoking for good.
