Even though I honestly use to love smoking, I now find the opposite to be true, and I love not smoking. Really it’s true. If you would like to improve upon your odds of success, trigger avoidance is best when possible; however seldom is that the case as many triggers come from out of the blue. So I’d say know thy triggers by name and have a counter for each. You got to be prepared as distractions are the order, a toolbox filled with them.

Quitting is a skill you teach yourself; you learn by doing. Like all skills the repetitiveness of the doing develops it. While in training there must only be an abundance of missed opportunities to smoke, your missed opportunities are those triggers that confront you, those that you beat.

There are many, many who have quit smoking, and I hesitate to think one need be special to achieve the goal, only willful. Desire first followed by the will.

I’ve found no favors in smoking and I have not smoked in a good long while. My wife has lost track and so have my friends. That is the sign of sticking to it.
