packaday for ~11 years here.

quit cold turkey about 3 months ago.  
havent wanted one in about 2 months.  
come to think of it, i cant remember the last time i had an urge.

You have to get WANT to QUIT.

For me the first couple of days were rough - what I did was remind myself everytime that “I don’t fucking need these things, i dont want my kids/wife to watch me die of cancer, i’d like to run a mile without coughing up a lung again, I hate being “addicted” to anything”.

btw-the coughing stuff up lasted the first couple of weeks for me. then goes away for the most part.

I feel TONS better already.

Good luck, enforce Your GodDamned WILL POWER 🙂
