Smoked for 25 years. Substituted with water. Quit, and only had to focus for about 7 days. Haven’t had a smoke for over five years now. I HATE the smell of smoke, now, much to my still-smoking husband’s chagrin. Changing the habit itself and why you have it, is the key, not the cigarettes themselves, imho.
The one thing I hope the book mentions, is to be aware of the Addict Dreams. These took me by surprise. It wasn’t until an ex-heroin-addict told me about them, after I had one, that I recognized their significance. When you “win” those dreams, that means your subconscious no longer considers you a smoker.

Congrats on quitting!
Didn't see your post when I posted about still dreaming about having a smoke now and then. I don't crave it all, even after those dreams.
