He Mr. oBob I hope you are out there, I made it to 3 years.
I still love your post of 4 or 5 years ago.
Most important message in your post is that we reached the finish, but are one puff away from starting-line.
One puff makes me again a newbie who wants to quit and has to go through the same stress of quitting again.

I was a longtime and heavy (chain-)smoker. I started with 16, quickly went to 3-4 packs a day and have been smoking most of my past 33 years. I always was aware that I'm an addict, as I never smoked occasionally or just in certain circumstances. Instead I smoked around the clock.

When I was roughly 22 I had a bad cold with pneumonia as a complication. At that time I managed to cold turkey cease smoking, the pneumonia phase took care of my first 72 hours, after... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (dachs) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23707 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:20:54 GMT <![CDATA[ No more tobacco ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23706/t/No-more-tobacco.html feeds@yuku.com (Mylynes) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23706 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:33:43 GMT <![CDATA[ My story ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23705/t/My-story.html feeds@yuku.com (mcshorty) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23705 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 17:03:27 GMT <![CDATA[ 5 month milestone - today ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23704/t/5-month-milestone-today.html And so another month is passing.

I've been hanging around this forum the last week, and for 3 days ago i decided to just quit forever. I've been smoking for about 9 years, and tried to quit several times. I'm the kind of guy who always thought he would stop the next day. "This is the last cigarette", "This is the last pack" etc. Because I am a 22 year old student I have had a range of excuses to start again often linked to alcohol at parties, concerts, etc. I began... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (slipperola) http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23701 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:58:31 GMT <![CDATA[ Smokeless tobacco and hypertension ]]> http://ffn.yuku.com/topic/23700/t/Smokeless-tobacco-and-hypertension.html Association of exclusive smokeless tobacco

Day 6 here and very pleased ... Huge thanks to Joel's videos for the support.

Quit is going very well, especially now that nicotine is out. Today however, out of no where in the afternoon, my lungs started throbbing. They really hurt! They hurt occasionally when I smoked, but usually involved me having a cough or a cold or something. I am perfectly healthy as far as coughs and colds go, and my lungs didnt hurt the first 5 days of my quit.
