Good luck FictionNet!! You can do it through sheer willpower alone!!
My last ciggie was on 23 November 2006 (and OK, I have someone else’s health to consider as well as my own which helps with the willpower!) but it’s still not easy. Trying to disassociate myself with places I’d usually always smoke helped…I avoided pubs for a bit and rewarded myself with treats at the end of the day/week (using the money I’d saved from not smoking).
Good luck!! You can do it!!
