After having posted about quitting smoking a few days , and taking every everyone's comments into consideration , I have realized i am not ready to quit at the moment. Everyone that quit seemed so sure of themselves and i guess i am not at that point yet.
What I have done , and am EXTREMELY PROUD OF , is the fact that I now no longer smoke before 11 am. It may seem trivial but this idea was intentional and it really is working. I have now been 4 days without smoking before 11 am . I usually wake up around 8: 30 am so this is a victory. I look forward to pushing the time back to 11: 30 in a few days.
This morning was much easier than yesterday. I believe in the power of habit and its showing results already..
I quit drinking coffee the same way and now I don't even think of coffee.
Day 4 and very Proud!

Bear in mind that quitting must involve complete abstinence. Nothing short of that will be effective. Same goes for drinking.
(I'm here on this site due to nicotine addiction/e-cigs. I'm on day 5 or 6 continuous no e-smoking or nicotine. My jones'ing for nicotine has mostly abated. Now, I'm finding the habit of having something in my hand or mouth is poking its' ugly head out. But I have sour candy, jawbreakers & a journal to write in.)
Keep up the great work!!!
