Thank you both! I appreciate your words of wisdom and encouragement!

Smoked my last cigarette New Year's Eve. 2 anxious days and no problems after that until 2 weeks ago. Out of the blue I have been craving a cigarette. Nothing in my routine changed to warrant the cravings. No stress. No illness. Nothing new out of the ordinary. I have been exercising regularly since Aug. 1st. I know if I smoke 1 cigarette I will be hooked again and will never quit. I will not go back. I'm smarter and stronger than that! Any idea why the sudden cravings after 10 months? Thank you!

Thanks to all for your input but I am confused....above says to check out 10 ways to use this forum effectively. I checked it out and it says to read Easyway which I have already done. Easyway talks about no withdrawal symptoms (anger / cravings / substitutes etc) yet when I read the first few days most talk about fighting cravings, it so difficult, what was used to get through the cravings etc. This is exactly the opposite of Easyway. I'm not sure who or what I am suppose to follow.

Hi ya! I've been a smoker for longer than I like to admit. I have quit a few times in the past using different techniques all with varying lengths of success. I have been determined to quit and free myself for good for a few months now. I purchased Allen Carr's book EasyWay for women to quit smoking, Bootcamp, and Quit Now all on audio. I've listened to all 3 books numerous times but I found no success. I let a bit of time pass and last week I listened to Bootcamp again. I got so much out of it this time....so many Ah ha moments. I understood more, saw what he was saying, and found truth in what I was listening to. I was so stoked to crush my final cigarette. I was so amazed there was absolutely no withdrawal pangs. No depression. No anger. I was great! I was happy! Then out of the blue I lit a cigarette (30 some hrs of being free). I had no cravings to do this, no triggers, no stress. I have no idea why I did this. I went back to listening to Bootcamp again and I have no Ah Ha moments. I understand since I've listened to this a few times it will be anti-climatic but I can't find what I missed that made me light up again. Why? Has anybody had a similar situation? Any suggestions? I did contact EasyWay and was told to listen again in 1 sitting but never received any insight as to what I am missing to free me from this slavery. Thanks!!!
