Okay so the differently worded poll in the other thread has closed now.

I thought I would state it differently: From the time your efforts to quit started, how long did it take for you to quit smoking?

I would comment, but I've never smoked. :/

How about you?

Neither printing presses nor trucks will run without coffee and cigarettes. If the trucks don't run you don't eat. Forget about a newspaper.

I do both. Maybe I should just do the one. I am not in denial. I need God's help.

Friend I can operate or repair any printing press in existence. But to avoid that I drive. At least I can watch my latest problem decrease in a mirror while getting paid.

I would be no help here. I have never smoked, and don't plan to start.

But it would be interesting to see what other people say.

The day I quit smoking was the day I decided that everything had to change. How I moved my body, how I fed my body and how I watered my body. The great increase in how I felt destroyed the desire for a cigarette.

I quit quitting. Does that count?

I dont even know why I smoke. Just a pointless, worthless (enter more negative words here) habit.

I smite my chest, I rent my shirt. But I give thanks to God that one day I will have a brand new and perfect body.

Amen and God speed.

I quit cold turkey the day Christ caused me to see it was an idol in my life - like my "God of Peace". That when I wanted to feel peaceful I went to my cigarette. To get rid of this idol caused me to suffer for awhile which I knew I would get over. I have never heard of anyone dying because they gave up cigarettes. Sure I had headaches, etc.. but in 3 months I never felt better. More than anything, I felt great that I could be strong enough to say "no" even though it hurt.
