Must admit, I had no plan. Just took it a day at a time and refused to give in to the cravings to smoke because I knew if I did, I would be forever a smoker and I didn't want that!! Once things smoothed out I just dealt with the mild cravings or thoughts about smoking in the same manner - just ignored them until my mind focused on something else. Still works that way only the thoughts of smoking are fewer and further between and milder than they once were. Hardly a bother at this point - more of just an annoyance. Like, OMG, you're still here and trying to suggest I smoke again - LOL!!
