how did you all stop drinking & smoking?

[John7777]

I quit smoking four or five times before I finally got it right. That was in 1975. I still drink too much, though.

Sticker shock:

In the U.S. Army- 25-30c a pack

When I left and re-entered the world-75-80c a pack

I threw away my half-full pack of cigarettes, endured about three unpleasant weeks and then resisted milder temptations for about a year.

And that was that.

I love that. No BSing around. Bravo!

I let the tobacco go for the ecigs (so-called). Now my goal is to wean off the nicotine and then the ecigs.

Then to clean up my lungs and get them back.

All for 2014.

Unsettomati - You have inspired me with your quitting mid-cigarette.

With what I now know, my goal should be easy (don't know about the lungs yet).

Thank you.

Waking up at noon on New Years day is a strong incentive.
