I have quit smoking for about 4 years now. It was my nth attempt.

Good for you.

I'm at about day 42 on my (n+1)th attempt.

I still get an urge from time to time for some strange reason, but I know that if I ever have even one cigarette, I will be back at it like I never quit within just a few days.

Yep. Same for me. I've gone as long as a year before the big (and rapid) slide back to oblivion.

The failure rate is supposedly still at 50% at the 5 year mark.

I find that somewhat surprising. Mind you, a buddy of mine made it about seven years. He's now up to about five a day again.

I recommend "cold turkey". I had a very dificult time but other than withdrawal symtoms, there were no other side effects.

So do I. The first day is hell, but if I make that, I can go long distance. Yet to be determined if I can go the distance.

Regards,

WillP
