WOW - 467 days! In the beginning, one week seemed almost impossible. But I made it one week and just kept adding the days. In my case, "slips" were not allowed because I know myself too well. I have been down this road before, and I am an addict who is one cigarette away from a total relapse. It is not always easy, but I have made it this far by doing it like every other successful quitter has done it -- by not smoking -- plain and simple. I remember very well what a roller-coaster ride the first few week were for me. But after I got off that ride, I realized that I never have to go thru that again. I have made it thru to the other side - and you can too - if you just give it the time that it takes to get there.
