No tricks here.: Take it hour by hour for the first 2-4 weeks. Congratulate yourself after each successful hour. Then move to day by day with same congratulations. Be strong, stay motivated and don't be afraid of setbacks...Just keep going. Everyone you don't smoke is a good one. Spoken from personal experience. You'll make it!

Stress management : Stress management and behavior modification techniques are effective in overcoming smoking. Delay giving into the urge and engage in slow breathing. Use distraction during the delay period. Some people find it effective to gradually reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke, while others need to do rapid cessation. For motivation, remind yourself of the reasons why you want to be a nonsmoker.
