if you hit 72 hours, you are over the physical addiction. so just think that every minute you go without one is one more minute towards the goal of 72 hours. and then, if you're about to have one, think about how you'll be throwing all of that anguish and discomfort right down the drain, only to start back at square one when you eventually do quit. those two things really helped me when i quit like six years ago.

Yeah, plus I'm not around smokers, so no real temptation. It was just part of my routine- that's almost harder to deal with than the physical aspect.

This was the hardest thing for me. I got so used to make it part of my day, and so used to having one in my hand I didn't know what to do. Nowadays I carry a bottle of water with me everywhere I go almost just cause I need a prop.

Anyway, just stop. Do it. White knuckle through it every time a craving comes up. Even if you don't care about the health benefits, you should. I haven't smoked it 4 years, and while I don't feel "better" now whenever I pass a smoker on the street the smell makes me absolutely sick.

It's been amazing going from "that smells DELICIOUS" to "omg that is the most disgusting smell ever". It smells worse to me than even before I began smoking. Truly showed me how toxic and addicting it is.
