    DD.

    Stay away from friends that are trying to offer you a cigarettes, atleast till you gone quiet some time without smoking.

    Or make it VERY clear to them that they should not let you smoke under any conditions.
    Good friends will try to help you in quitting.

    First rule:
    No ash-trays and no smoking in your living quarters, the same counts for visitors too.

    Second Rule:
    If people insist in smoking in front of you, excuse yourself and get some fresh air.

    Cheers.

    Good job. Now stop thinking about it so much.

    Don't you feel so much...cleaner? Your clothes should smell better as well.

    Yes I defenitly feel cleaner. And more energized as well. Normally after work I would've smoked a cigarette, go home, sit down and play a videogame and go to sleep. Now I take my bike and drive to some friends just to talk a little and than I drive back home and I eat something and train a little. I recommend all smokers to stop immedietly

    Great job. Although I would just say you stopped smoking. After a year or so...then you really quit.

    Urges (for me) will come and go. Especially in times of stress. If you screw the pooch...try not to...but if you do, just get right back on track. Whatever you do, do NOT ever...ever...ever ever ever...buy your own pack. That will be your downfall.

    Again, great job. Feeling clean rocks doesn't it?

    As ewallace said the cravings/urges will remain for a looong time, don't give in.

    As he said during times of stress or even when you had a few pints and feeling happy it is easy to pick one up again.

    You won the first battle, keep going.

    Cheers.

    just remember

    You're a non smoker!

    Even in times of stress, try to remember that smoking is no longer an option. I found it really helpful to keep that in mind. Don't even consider smoking again. You simply don't smoke.

    When you get stressed, get a massage, work out, have a beer...
    eat a little chocolate, hit the bag. Stay far far away from smokers if you know you're likely to cave.


    Congrats!
    The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on the list.

    Nah, you're a smoker. Not a non-smoker, not an ex-smoker, you ARE a smoker. You always will be even if you haven't smoked in ten years. This means you don't have the option of smoking "just one".
