I was a at a smoky party one time, puffing on a cigarette and it just hit me... All of a sudden I thought, "Hey these things are disgusting." I gave away the rest of my pack and then went about 8 months without having a cigarette.

Then, 8 months later, I went in to a gas station for milk and while I was checking out, I absentmindedly asked for a pack of Camels. I got back out in my car and was like "What the fuck? Why'd I just buy a pack of smokes?" Seemed like destiny so I started smoking again and have been for the last few years.

Now with a baby on the way, the wife is really wanting me to quit so I told her I would before it's born provided I can buy a Wii with all the money I save. She thought that was fair so that's the deal. I got about 5 months to quit, but I now know I can do it cold turkey without any problems.

It's simple mind over matter. You can quit if you want to. If you don't want to, it'll be tough because your mind keeps telling you that you want one.
