I have been ABSOLUTELY smoke free for 4 months on 23rd of Sept.. I wanted to thank you for your share particularly on how many things you went through to help you. I went through many years of separating myself from them too rearranging my smoking places, routines. A few examples would be: Sometimes I would smoke while feeding animals other days I would not too driving my car, sometimes I would go 1/2 hour w/o nico. sometimes 3/4 of hour too some days I would smoke in house some I would not.
