Congratulations (and good work)! I was smoking 3 packs a day when I quit smoking in 1986. It wasn’t easy, but I’d definitely say it was worth it. In more recent accomplishments, although I can’t say I’ve **given up** eating, I’ve been exercising regularly since January and I’ve lost just over 30 pounds so far, which is about halfway to my goal. ---

I once was two months without somking, but fell again. I never tried again after that. Perhaps you could share your trick, I would apprecciate. Oh, and congratulations!!! ---

WTG **QED** keep it up. The first month is by FAR the toughest. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/q-e-d-goes-one-month-without-smoking/179216.md?page=2)
