Twenty Years, Five or Six Quits, Longest Three Months — Day Five
A smoker since high school with five or six past attempts (longest three months, shortest under a week) started this quit quietly — no diary until day 5, wanting to consolidate first. Work pressure and fear of another failure had delayed the start for a long time.
