3 Months this week.
Had a desire to quit for a long time then one Monday morning I was having a smoke and just said eff it, took my pack out and crushed it and soaked it. No pre-planned set time or date but as I said the desire was lingering in my head for a long time. I suppose the main driving force was that I promised my kids I'd quit, and couldn't accept setting the example of a broken promise.
First 2-3 days were tough but it got a lot easier .... fast. The best advice I got was from a buddy who told me to tell myself when I was having cravings that it would be gone in 5 minutes. It is ... till the next one ... and so on .... till the cravings are more spaced and less intense.
Dunno what was different this time. I quit about 15 years ago for 2 years using Alan Carr. I guess my head was just in the right place and I really wanted it.
I .... feel ..... liberated.
Thanks to everyone in this thread and good luck to all.
