I smoked for a number of years. I quit 2 years ago. I rolled my own cigs, and when I ran out of filter tubes, I decided I wasn't going to buy anymore. I asked our Gods for help to quit, and I heard a voice in my head tell me to get rid of the rest of the tobacco, and they would help. I did so and felt a warmth come over my body instantly. One of the better decisions I have made. Like a lot of bad habits, you don't realize how detrimental these things are until you distance yourself from it.
Distancing yourself from cigarettes is a big help in the process. Don't buy them. Can't smoke em if you don't have em, right?. If you have friends or family that smoke, try to minimize your time around them while they are smoking. If they are in your house and want to smoke, politely ask them to go outside. If you are in their house and they want to smoke, then you can go outside and use this as an opportunity to cleanse your aura and draw energy from the sun. You want to avoid any situation that may cause a relapse as much as possible in the beginning.
You deepest cravings will most likely come from associations your brain has developed with smoking. For me, it was always coffee and a cigarette 1st thing in the morning. The 1st week I quit was the hardest. Especially when I drank coffee. My brain associated the cigarette with the caffeine, and that is when my cravings were strongest. Smoking after a meal is an example of another. These are the times that you must remain the strongest mentally. The 1st week was the hardest for me, and after that, it became easier. I still craved cigarettes for awhile, but nothing like that 1st week.
I have friends and co-workers who smoke. They tried the patch and pills to stop smoking. They still smoke till this day. Take that for what it's worth.
Interesting moment of weakness for me....about 2 months after I quit, I was shopping at a pharmacy. For whatever stupid reason as the clerk was ringing me up, I decided to buy a pack of cigarettes. Smoked one in the car, smoked another when I got home. Immediately after the 2nd cigarette, I started sweating profusely and felt very sick. I vomited a short time after. Took the rest of the cigarettes outside to the trash can and haven't smoked one since.
