I recently celebrated my 4 year anniversary of the day I became a non-smoker. I'm very grateful to have been able to become and stay a non-smoker after 'practicing' many times
 Once I was able to separate in my mind the behavior from the anxiety, I was able to break that connection so when the anxiety is intense, as it is in my life often, I didn't have the desire to use that behavior to attempt to releive the anxiety. That's what always kept me from being able to stay a non-smoker... something would happen that was anxiety-provoking and I would smoke. Anyway, I am glad to be a non-smoker!
