I haven't taken even a token puff since I quit. 11 days now. I still want a cigarette but there is something that I do.
When that craving starts to get to the point where I am actually thinking about or imagining smoking a cigarette I take a series of very deep breaths.
The feeling of filling my lungs with fresh, clean air and stretching my lungs out a little is a good reminder of the benefits of not smoking. I couldn't do this before without coughing.
The other thing is that there is stuff coming out of my lungs. Nasty stuff. I don't like it. It's icky.
