Oh, I think another thing I did when I finally successfully quit (I had tried many other times) was I tried not to focus on the quitting so much. I convinced myself I was a non-smoker and then I preoccupied myself with things I love to do. I played a lot of guitar because I enjoy it, I took a friend to a national park nearby and climbed around, I went out to eat in smoke free restaurants (California). The inevitable cravings would remind me that I wanted a cigarette, but I tried to get back to the enjoyment of whatever my preoccupation was. In essence, I tried not to make quitting smokes my preoccupation because that would make think I was a smoker and I wasn't. I was still a non-smoker and nobody could say I wasn't. I may have been a non-smoker for 10 hours, but I was still a non-smoker. Keep up the good work. Your heart is rejoicing right now.
