I can relate to your association between housework / house projects and smoking, @darcy. I always used smoke breaks to punctuate projects, take breaks when I was frustrated, and celebrate tough jobs completed. It took a while to find different rhythms and rituals. Diet root beer on ice is my latest "tough task completed" or "annoyed with somebody/something at work" tool. You will find your own. As you head back to work, definitely have a number of things in your Quit Kit, since work often presents a lot of triggers. There will be tough days - it's not a linear process. But the gifts of quitting start to add up pretty fast (including the pride in earning your freedom). You CAN do this.

Hurrah for your three years of freedom!

Great update, @darcy. Glad you are starting to normalize your life as a nonsmoker. There will be rough patches, but you’re building quitting “muscles” to help you through those times. Booyah, baby!
