    Eight years ago today I quit smoking. On January 16, 2012, at 10:53am PST, I crushed out what would forever be my last cigarette.

    I used Welbutrin and the patch, but never made it to the lower dosage patches after finishing my box of 21mg patches. By the time there was a single patch left in that first box, I was done. My life as a smoker had come to an end.

    Never had another cigarette after that...

    congrats. Very hard to quit smoking. I have two brothers that started in their teens and still have not managed to succeed in doing what you have done 35 years later.

    Congratulations!

    Been a nonsmoker myself for almost 4 decades now.

    Feels good to not have some corporation leeching money out of your pocket any longer. The savings and improved health make it all worthwhile.

    Congratulations. You should be proud. It's a really hard thing to do.

    You know, once I decided I truly wanted to do it, it was pretty easy...
