I spent more and more time with non-smokers. I had weaned myself down to one or two cigarettes a day for a long long time. I told myself I could have one whenever I wanted, I just didn't want one. Then I quit buying my own packs. It didn't help that my boyfriend is still smoki… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I've got my own website. I had a popular podcast series for a while. Also having a profile on every social networking site out there helps.
