2 Weeks, 3 Days, 22 hours, 51 minutes and 56 seconds
Hi all,
I'm Gary from Wisconsin. At age 50 I thought I'd given up quitting. I've tried so many times before. My best effort was from 2003 to 2005 almost 2 years to the day. Like an idiot I bought a pack, mainly to deal with a lot of anger I was feeling towards someone. I know that's just an excuse but I did it anyway.
Well 5 yrs later here I am again. I've quit many times in between now and then but this one feels different.
I hope to be part of this site and add to the community spirit.
Good luck to us all and we need to stay strong.
Gary. |
