Kim ... 3 years in powerful. DO not blow such a wonderful triumph for one moment of weakness. You are BETTER than that or you wouldn't have posted this question here. I just lost my Dad ... 2 months ago. Any guesses? Yep... cancer from smoking in both his lungs and his liver. He was only 61 years old and my 8 year old son lost his grandfather. We are heartbroken and cry every single day still.
You know that if you smoke just one you can become instantly addicted again and have to try and quit all over again. DO NOT risk that girl ... this is why it is THE hardest habit to quit so don't let it get the best of you. Cancer and death should be pretty good motivators.
Soda is not great for you either, but on occasion it can be a big help. Pour a soda with some ice because the carbonation feels good in your mouth and you can crunch on the ice. Chewing gum was also a good suggestion. Get up ... move around ... clean the house ... exercise (this is a fast way to take your mind off of it and curb a craving for sure!)
I wish you the best ... you can do it. 3 years is WAY too long to just throw away. Hang tough sister ... I'm prayin' for ya!
Peace to you ...
** Boy 4 Strings is really funny, huh? His/her profile says "health" is important. After reading the rest, however, what he/she answered doesn't surprise me. What a *****! Easy to say st*upid stuff when you can hide behind a computer isn't it?

I'm sure in three years you've come up with some coping methods. Draw on them.
I made a personal rule that I would never "bum" cigarettes, and so now if I want one I know I'll have to buy a whole pack. Now that's a slippery slope, and I live in the country far away from stores so it isn't convenient to go get smokes.

Ask yourself if you have totally lost your mind. I quit 3 1/2 years ago and don't miss it one bit but I do not hang around anywhere that has smoke either and the smell makes me sick now.
Do you really want to pick up that annoying habit again and have to spend money on it and feel bad and worry about your health? I THINK NOT!

Think it through: this is a lifestyle choice, not an itch.
How do you want to live? What supports the life that you want?
Then, distract yourself until the urge passes - you can think of the ways best for yourself because you know what you like to do. At the very least call someone who does not smoke & talk to them.
Good luck !

You are doing much better than me, I quit just 4 days ago and I keep thinking that it's OK to have "just one", you know as a reward for doing so good. Don't cave in, you have made it a long time.

Don't give in. It's been 4 & a half years for me & there's always a slight urge. Just ignor it.

I suggest you chew on some gum or find a support group to help you with your problem.

Go out with friends to get your mind off of it. If you're by yourself, you're more likely to.
