I have been cigarette free for 3 months and 19 days. I smoked for almost 40 years and never thought that I'd see the day that I could/would quit smoking, but here I am! I don't even miss it that much.

Good for you. I will be interested to see how you do at unlearning the hand to mouth ritual.

Vaping has really helped with that and the habit is now fading away. When I get strong urges, though, I either work on a painting or do some drawing and the urges go away.
