The easiest thing I ever did in life was quit smoking. I smoked for 23 years and was a pack to a pack-half smoker until I saw how much the state was going to raise the prices and add additional taxes.
I had two packs left and I left one pack unwrapped and marked a date of 10/25/2010 on it in marker. The other pack was open I so left the pack in my car after I smoked my final cigarette. The pack is still in my car as a reminder if I wanted to smoke again then I would smoke a six year old stale cigarette.
I got through the final smoke and all of work the next day and that turned into 24 hours. I figured if I can go 24 hours without a smoke then I could quit and not even 48 hours later, I didn't have the urge to smoke.
Do I think about smoking? Yes... Did I like to smoke? Yes... Do I feel like spending 70 bucks a week on a carton? No...
