I quit two years ago (Feb 23, 2001 at 3:30 pm!)

My husband quit about a month before me.

I am probably proudest of having quit smoking than just about anything else I have done -- and you will be too.

But it is hard....very, very hard.

My lungs are clear and I haven't had a serious asthma attack since. I rarely even use clarinex anymore. My teeth are whiter. My physical stamina is far greater than it was.

Do not be hesitant to use any and all aids --I used Zyban, my husband the gum.

Good luck....my thoughts are with you!
