Make it three!
That's a huge accomplishment CT. I've never smoked but both of my brothers did and both have quit. Both did it cold turkey and have been off the smokes for a few years now.

Congratulations! Keep it up.
I've quit now for a little over 30 years, My best warning is to never, never, never give in to urge for just one puff. |

Good Job, one of the best things I ever did was quit. What a stupid and costly habit.

Way to go! My last cigarette was in August, 1993. I still smoke a cigar once and awhile, but that is one accomplishment you can be proud of.

Good job CT! My last one was almost 14 years ago, Feb. 17th, 1999. After 20+ years of smoking, I quit cold turkey. Out of breath with pnuemonia and a little bit of common sense was all it took. Well, 6 hours on oxygen in emergency played a part, too.
And I have never missed them. |

Thanks all!
I really don't even think about them, except to count the months. Cold turkey was the trick...and I would have sworn that it would be a terrible trip...not so. I'm just going to celebrate till my non-smoking dying day

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
