I chose the one with the best success rate and after one session I have not had another cigarette in almost 2 years. However, one has to get to the point where they are truly motivated to quit. My decision had nothing to do with health reasons but I did have a reason that compelled me and decided that was finally it. I was thinking of Joni in the hospital and remember having a major surgery back in '91. High on painkillers the first night, I wandered the hall holding on to the IV apparatus at 2 a.m. looking for a "smoking room." A very old night nurse yelled over to me "are you looking for a place to smoke?" and directed me to a small outside balcony on the 4th flr. ALL of the other nurses were out there puffing away. I couldn't believe it but was glad to know the spot. The next day I wandered out there and there was a woman who had just delivered a baby smoking away with all the nurses. Ha! Had another surgery in 2007 and actually had no desire to smoke because they'd given me such relaxing drugs. I do hope the break will help Joni give it up. Even if a lot of damage has already been done, it is never to late to quit.
