I hope to help you quit smoking forever. Here is how it happened for me. I was a 2 pack a day Camel Light smoker. I smoked for 10 years..quit for another 10. I started smoking again after my divorce. 14 years went by. I think when I started smoking again for the second time...I wanted to die. I loved to find the "buy 2 get 1 free", 3 packs. I liked the hard boxes..fun to open and pack em tight. Yup...I enjoyed it...one cigarette after every meal, even after a snack. Smoked 3 for every drink of Bacardi Select on the rocks.

My worst fear... My God!! Do I have cancer in my throat from smoking?? I started putting ice on it...I was scared...really scared! I knew if I went to see my doctor he would tell me I must quit smoking or die! Or maybe it was to late??? My life passed before me...I was faint..I was shaking... Will I have to have sugery and have my neck sliced open and the lump removed? Will it be a malignent cancer? Would I see my 2 beautiful daughters smile and hug me...ever again?? How could I tell them I was going to die soon? I decided at that moment. IT WAS TIME TO QUIT SMOKING. I WANTED TO LIVE! I wanted to live and breath the sweet mountain air. I wanted to spend time with my fa
