cold turkey!
14+ years ago I put down the habit. As a 4-pack-a-day smoker, that was the most difficult thing I've ever done. If I can do it, so can you - I'll be pulling for you.
My deciding moment after years of "quitting", was a 2-year-old son who waltzed across the livingroom - picked up my Boros - flipped open the box lid - grabbed one at the filter using his teeth (I always did that cause my hands would be dirty) - and grabbed my lighter. He did that as if he'd been smoking for years!
We left for vacation that Friday (to Virginia - the land of cheap cigaretts no less) & I smoked my last one that night. Lois remembers that hell-week as if it were yesterday!(G) I wouldn't drive anywhere because I didn't trust myself to pass by a store.
It took a year before the last craving left my addicted mind. For three years, it smelled tantalizing. Now I can't stand the smell.
Do it for your family, but most of all - do it for yourself.

New Years Revolutions
Murph
Yesterday I vowed to do more fishing and drink more beer in 2004. Went across the road and down to the North Fork yesterday looking for steelhead. It's been too long since I took time to do that.
Good luck on stoppin' the smokin'. Perhaps you could substitute something else. Have you considered knitting?0 -

That makes me very happy. Good for you!
As for me, I'm going to learn how to speak Spanish (been a long time since High School), and I'm going to learn how to juggle.Retired and loving it.0 -

Take up...
breathing Murph. I know it's a new concept to your body, but it has experience, and it longs for clean air. Oxygen does wonders...
Hang in their pal. Been there, done that, and I don't regret it.

Good luck Murph
My New Year's resolution was to think about quitting. And so far, I have kept it. I have thought about it quite a lot.
I hope all is going well.

Do it for the boy.
Maybe start a piggy bank with all the money you would spend on the butts. Buy yourself something you've always wanted. Give yourself a reward, you deserve it. Good luck.
Hey Dan are you taking classes ? I would really like to learn to speak spanish.
