Good point, David. as with any endeavor, if you EXPECT success, it is more likely to happen.

So Bryan - every minute, hour, of every day, expect success and your "Great Expectations" will continue to bring you success. There are lots of resources all around to help. I did hear of one particularly interesting method that suggests substituting some other activity when the urge to smoke presents itself: the "SSS" method or "Sexual Substitution System" which could be limiting unless you are in a committed relationship with a willing participant. Other former smokers can probably help more than I (a non-smoker) can with their own suggestions of how they became successful.
