Good decision not to start this project on January 1st...but still a huge task for you.
Me personally helped to quit only until the next cigarette. So for me it was easier to set short term goals than to confess myself never to smoke again.
The funny thing is....the desire for a cigarette only takes few seconds.. unfortunately very often a day.
I had my last cigarette approximately 14 days ago and still don't want a cigarette while writing about it :)
