[QUOTE="Malika, post: 428528, member: 11227"] Well, I truly don't think I was "extremely lucky" so much as I didn't have psychological cravings for cigs after I gave them up because by then I was just so desperate to be free of them.... and so relieved and happy when I was. I just meant that because the withdrawal symptoms, so- called, are psychological rather than physical, if one can crack the cigs-give-me-something-good myth, then stopping isn't hard at all... Advice is cheap, as they say - so here goes :-) Keep congratulating yourself on your strength and sanity in having stopped. Don't let yourself start thinking, even for a second, that you would be better off with a cigarette in your life (or mouth?) - you know, of course, you wouldn't... Exercise a lot, even if just long walks, do everything that accentuates the positive and healthy thing you are doing for your body. Do you have Allan Carr books in the States? He was a kind of anti-smoking guru and very motivational to read after you've given up! The worst, such as it is, is over. Welcome to the world of freedom!!! [/QUOTE]
