I posted the following in another thread, but it answers your questions and I don't have to type it all over again, lol:
I can top that! I quit for 7 years, went through a divorce and started again. That was 5 years ago. I quit last year for 3 months, then went to Paris for a week, and EVERYONE smokes there, so yep, so did I. I am on day 6 (Quit day Aug. 6), and absolutely will not smoke again! I read the book by Allen Carr, "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking", and also had acupuncture on Day 2. I will probably have the acupuncture again this week or next. It totally alleviated the grogginess I felt in the past, and gave me really positive energy. I'm taking an herbal detox (no nicotine) which is supposed to help reduce cravings, but I don't take it regularly. I haven't had many "moments" and have found if I crochet or blog (do something with my hands), it really helps, and I soon forget the "moment". I feel so good! Will get up and walk/run tomorrow.
Jujo, I would suggest you read the book I referenced above. It totally changed my way of thinking about quitting, and this has by far been the easiest. I haven't had coffee, either, because it is a trigger for me. I've had one cup since I quit. I love coffee, and will slowly drink it again, but probably not as much as I used to.
