thanks, jake - actually, it's now been over 9 years since i quit (my final quit date was november 19, 2001, and i just enjoyed my 9th anniversary of freedom from smoking 5 days ago).

How inspiring.... I have quit traditional cigarettes, moved on to E-cigs, they have been a blessing but I would like to be free of nicotine altogether. I keep falling to my addiction but I will try your route, with the morning mantra and journal, I feel it could work. Most don't realize that quitting nicotine after smoking so long truly is like losing a loved one - it has been proven. Feelings of grief, sadness, something missing, but it is just DECEIVING you. This was posted a year ago, I hope it's been a year and 203 days since you've had a smoke. All the best to all that are trying/have quit.

The comments sure stretch back quite far. I am 21 and am addicted to nicotine. I quit countless times but always came back because I thought I was young and it didn't matter.

I want to thank you for this encouraging tale. Never again will I feed my habit.

I am 18 days into choosing not to smoke after choosing to smoke for over 22 years....

Your story is very similar to the technique i used as i couldn't face quitting for ever.. so every day i tell myself..

Yesterday i chose not to smoke,
Today and tonight i am choosing not to smoke and
Tomorrow i will choose not to smoke.

Also
Even though i have the urge/craving to smoke i deeply and completely accept myself! repeat

if anyone reads this and you are choosing not to smoke too, i hope this helps..

I especially like "I choose self-control and freedom." I get tired of feeling sad, craves, something's missing such as my best friend etc.,(so deceiving!!) and I almost want to say that I had just rather smoke and suffer the consequences, then I read your "tales"...Thanks
