What most people think is that quitting smoking is hard because it is an addiction, well let me tell you that is not as bad as it sounds. The hardest part in smoking is not the addiction, but rather the habit. The day you feel strong enough to take the risk and quit smoking, you have to do it simultaneously with changing your "smoking" habits.

When I decided to stop smoking 4 months ago, I did it simulateously with a 2 week holiday trip. In all those 2 weeks maybe I felt it just a couple of times the need to smoke, and it was much easy to overcome.

Just when I came back home and back to my daily habits, this is where I started feeling the urge to smoke more, but the worst time was already gone in those 2 weeks away from home. So the strong will not to touch the cigarettes was enough to prevent me from smoking again.

Another crucial point is, if you live with a smoker at home, it is almost impossible to stop smoking. When you stop smoking you shouldn't have any easy access to cigarettes at all.
Thanks for your useful tips..hope i can do it too without blowing my anger on others..maybe as you said it is only in my mind that i feel frustrated that i am not smoking ..once i did it and i really quit but was soo difficult as went beside smokers just to get some smell of their cig..lol..see how crazy i was..then i went back to cigwhich i think was dumb on my behalf..now trying again but i just can't..hope one day i will before it's too late
