How I did it: I learned about Chantix, the "stop smoking drug" about 6 months prior to my actual quit date. I got the prescription about 3 months prior. And then, i finally set the date.

Prior to this, I smoked for 25 years - love to smoke and never thought i would quit. But, I want to be healthy and don't want to affect the health of those around me. So, I set my date and quit. On May 22, it will be 2 years.

Though i still get the urge every once in a while, I know that i will never smoke again - even one.

Lessons & tips: Get Chantix from your doctor. Be mentally prepared for the urges.
