I was smoking 3 packs a day and I drank coffee by the pot. I was eating Oreos and ice cream, and otherwise snacking quite a bit through the day because the cigs tasted better after I ate,, sooooo.. I was gaining a bit of weight before I quit. I gained no weight when I quit smoking, I lost... I also had a headache everyday of my life and had gone to eye drs, chiropractors, etc.. trying to cure them.. after a few months of no smoking I realized I had no more headaches... So one night I was getting ready to go to sleep and I heard a wheezing sound coming from my mouth.. I said no way, and put my 1/2 empty pack of cigs in my pocket the next morning so that I wouldn't go through the crazy looking for cig buts or bumming from somebody else etc... Then I never smoked again. I did like it for the first few months when a person came around and was smoking, I could breathe their smoke and feel so good... But soon the smoke was not pleasing anymore, 6 months, a year and a half.. I don't remember exactly. Then the smoke irritated me.. I was very busy with my retail store so I was never bored and wandering what to do with my time so I think that helped. I also quit coffee as I said, they went together and I figured it would be easier to quit smoking without the coffee. I still don't drink coffee to this day.. 20 years later... I dreamed off and on for about 7 years that I was smoking again, I would tell myself that I was so stupid and "why did you start again after so long" I would be really upset with my self when I woke up, sometimes I couldn't tell if it was real or a dream after a awoke. I think that I was really ready to quit and it made it very easy for me. I think that you just have to keep your mind set to the fact that you are no longer a smoker and just never take that 1st one again... I always thought I would kill everybody around me when I quit smoking, I had a lot of stress with my business, and a wife that was a hypochondriac and a liar, I thought that I need to smoke so that I would not blow up and yell and scream, beat on people or something... But the only real problem I had was wanting to sleep all the time, I think from quitting the coffee. I got over that in a few weeks though. I didn't kill, beat or even yell too much.... The best thing is that now at almost 50 years old I feel better and stronger than I did when I was 27. I would drive my van in to Vegas a hundred miles and when I got out I would walk across the parking lot like an old man.. Now I jump out and do two double back flips and... oh well I do jump out and walk upright... I quit smoking when I was 27. I was smoking 3 packs a day and I drank coffee by the pot.
