Dear All !!
I am shouting out loud here !!! ITS 5 YEARS COLD TURKEY !! When I first starting this, I never thought I can do it but after first few months or a year,it was not that tough.
Yes, there are plenty of opportunities where my friend colleagues go out for drink and smoke but it doesnt tempt me anymore . I have created this strong subconscious commitment in my head that even in dream someone offers a puff, I walk away with pride stating I left it behind.
My advice to those in the journey
1. While the sooner the better, its never late
2. NOPE - NOT ONE PUFF EVER is the MANTRA . Trust me. Put this carved out in stone in your room and you will repeat this . I learnt from various mentors here and now after 5 years i can say this is going to help you to win the war
3. Never be overconfidence - I have read stories where people went back to smoke even after 10 years of quitting so dont be overconfident and remember advice 2( NOPE) . One puff can really make or break
Enjoy quitting
