Lainey,
Personally, I think it's dangerous to put a time limit to it... because what if after 1 year, you still have occasional cravings? I did and still do. Does that mean I think about smoking all the time? Of course not! But they are still there sometimes. So am I "out of the woods?" I don't think I will ever be "out of the woods" because to me, that would mean that it would be safe to smoke again. You know, once I kick this addiction, I can smoke "once in a while" but as we all know, that's just not the case. Personally, I like Mitri's answer the best "when I totally forget that once I was a smoker!" That's when I will have made it... but I know that I will ALWAYS remember that I once smoked. So personally, my goal is the day I die. That's when I'll be "out of the woods" and will have "made it." And since I've quit smoking, that day will hopefully come a lot later than if I'd kept smoking!
Crave the Quit!
