How did you stay quit successfully from smoking?Florida encourages a smoke free state by providing quit assistance free of charge; this includes nicotine replacement and phone counseling. I have taken advantage of this and I am doing well. My desire is to remain smoke free for life so I was hoping some of you might share your quit experience with me and give me a few tricks for staying quit for life.

I quit cold. And it is the only way I have seen anyone be successful. If you are still on nicotine replacement you will have to stop because as long as it is going into you, you will never be free. Basically I waited it out. Avoided drinking because I knew it would start me back. And took advice from friends who had successfully quit and didn't start back when my brain was coming up with all kinds of reasons I should start back. I waited through the first 30 days which was tough then noticed with every passing day it was easier. After six months I didn't even think about it again. And I am happy to say now I can enjoy a cigar 3-4 times a year and just enjoy the pleasure without having to battle. In other words, I am truly no longer addicted.
