    Cigarettes Not Smoked

Yes its really been four years since I quit smoking and I have never looked back.
I chose my late father's birthday (May 10th) as my quit date, as it was one of his real bug bears that I couldn't quit. Sadly he had died before I decided to take the plunge.
I am forever indebted to SSC and the members that supported me on my quit journey. I have made some great mates on here, and we keep in touch even today. 
 
I was a very lucky quitter, and I know that. However, I say this because there may be smokers out there, who, like me, thought it was going to be a horrendous journey. But I can honestly say I put on my first patch and never ever desired another cigarette again- not once.
It is the best thing I ever did, and my only true regret is that I didn't do it years ago.
 
So, for anyone on the journey, or thinking about starting the journey, it may not be quite as daunting as you think.
