3 packs a day then 2 packs a day and then I quit in August of 2010. Gained some 20 lbs. but have managed to get rid of that too. I used to like the smell of a fresh lit cigarette but now it's awful!! You should try to make it up to Gate's Lodge for the cookout on June 24th, I'll have some "Popcorn Sutton" Tennessee White Whiskey to celebrate our Freedom from Addiction with. I can assure you that you will never take a drink of the Demon Rum again!!
