(9,365 posts)I quit a bit over fifty years ago, and it's still the hardest thing I'vs ever done in my life. But I can hope you find the strength eventually (I did it before there were patches or other medical help. It might be easier for you than is was for me, but it would still be hard.)

(12,766 posts)I prefer it black and neat. While good with a meal, my favorites to go with it is lips and tongue.
BTW congrats on the smoking. Fortunately I've never been much of a drinker but I will not ever have a taste of beer if there's cigarettes around.

Been doing this since mid 70s.
Moved to Berkeley for university in December 1973. Several blocks away there was a coffee store on the corner of Walnut and Vine. Bought by telephone order for decades.
Still drink Peet's coffee when can. Have a large sack of Organic French Roast one of my neighbors bought for me last Sunday.
