finally, a useful tool

[gravelyrider]

i am 34 and have smoked since 13. i always told myself i would quit if there were ever any problems-shortness of breath, etc, but haven't. my step father and mother have passed due to lung cancer, and i still continue to smoke. i've beat most hard line addictions cold turkey but can't shake the cigerettes. i've been lying to my wife and myself, that i have this under control but i truly don't. this has caused huge honesty and trust issues in my marriage and now i am at a loss. she is fed up and i am disappointed. i'm glad there is this support network, because there truly isn't much out there. thanx.

I know what you are saying.  I have a similiar story except that I had a heart attack in 06 and yet I continue to smoke.
 

I am finally ready to quit and am commited to July 1 as my quit date.

You can't change what you have done, only what you will do.  We both need to quit and we should.  Make a promise to yourself and no one else that you will quit.  Pick a date and stick to it.

Actions speak louder than words.  Corny perhaps but oh so true.

You can do it and so can I.  Millions have.
