    Truthfully, I was going through a divorce 25 years ago. Most miserable time of my life. Was smoking and chewing for years. Was praying a lot of the time in I just pray God to deliver me from tobacco, one day I wanted it the next day I didn’t, so I guess you would say I was delivered. I really had nothing to do with it. Crazy Huh!!!!

    Not crazy at all. God does for us, what we can’t do for ourselves.

    Tabex. Ordered it from the UK. Took as prescribed for 1 month. Last cig was 10/1/2017
    Twice I've walked thru the smell after someone went back inside just before I got there and I patted my pocket looking for mine. Don't know why. Don't crave them. Just habit I guess. The rest of the time I smell it and it's nasty like old time bars..

    I stopped cold turkey and didn't smoke for 4 years. Had a craving 5 years ago, bought a pack and the rest is history. Still smoking. I quit a few months ago for a week and just started back again. It is a hard addiction to kick. Course it don't help that my wife smokes too and seeing her enjoy a cigg after her meal burnt me so yeah, I'm weak. Will give it another shot soon because its no good for your health and we are getting older. Body cant take the licks it used to

    Cold turkey 19 months ago. I can still enjoy coffee without cigarettes. The extra $400 a month comes in handy. It took me about a year before I quit thinking about them. You can do it!
