Congratulations, Lynne.  You are an inspiration.  It is good to know that the mind will eventually move past the thought of a toke. 
 
Thanks for your encouragement and enjoy your smokefree life!!!!! 

Dave

Thanks for posting lynne. 
 
It is great to hear success stories like yours.

I'm really glad to hear this.  Thank you for posting!  I sometimes ponder in anguish about how long the desire is there...

Hi All,
since I gave up smoking I have had a reasonably struggle free quit. I was lucky in the sense that it didn't bother me too much.
I used nicotine patches ,but only for about 3 weeks.
I now find I rarely think about smoking, and even if I am upset, my thoughts do not turn to smoking.
sO, FOR YOU NEWER QUITTERS, PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT YOU CAN DO THIS, AND IT DOES GET EASIER WITH TIME.
Love to all
lynnexx
