I completely agree with the importance of spirituality and the ability to quiet the mind and be in the moment, be in the 'now'... to find a way, to allow the way, to enjoy the challenge and understand the feelings of minute by minute success.
Failures seem to come easier when we just 'disconnect' from ourselves, from our spirituality and our goals. Before my quit experience I had not ever meditated. Only recently I began meditating and seeking out resources to find mediation and affirmation tools. What a huge difference in my continuing resolve to never smoke again.
