I typed out a big long answer and it seemed stupid and preachy.

I quit in Jan after smoking for about 6 years (5-10 a day). Mostly I wanted to prove to myself I could do it. That was it. Also, I didn't finish the pack I had... like left 5-6 so "if I needed/wanted them, they were there". Somehow knowing that if I really wanted to go out and smoke I could, but that I wasn't because I had the self-control, was really the ticket for me.

I was ready to quit though. Maybe you aren't ready yet?

Thanks for this!
