Don't get me wrong, I didn't go cold turkey, but I still crave them when in certain situations.

The good news is that every time you encounter a trigger and don't respond to it with smoking, you've broken the trigger. 
The bad news is that most of us have/had lots and lots of triggers, so it takes a while to break them all. The key to success is to be aware; sometimes they can pop up years after you have quit. |
