I guess I'm lucky, I started when I was around 12, quit when I was 47, smoking, drinking alcohol, salt, whatever the Dr had been after me to quit all that time, he said you can't do that, your body can't adjust to the all at once thing, he didn't tell me that! I was at least a 2 pack a day smoker, not so much on the beer, but enough, I couldn't believe how bad cigarette breath smelled, first Sunday in church, people 2 rows back from me smelled like an ashtray that sat in a tavern, don't know how I stood it, I turned 80, Sept 3rd, not going as strong as I did at 20, but I did change out my own furnace this week, I've lost a few pounds, have diabetes, but at least I know it, most folks don't till it's too late, but I manage it with diet, so hang in there, you have to be in control. You can do it, but you have to want to. Bob
