Keefy will know already that his tea drinking has dramatically decreased, the trouble is that most people who stop smoking try too much to have a totally life style change and fool themselves that everything they are doing is wonderful, but, their body and mind will tell the brain that this is a total revolution within a persons system, that can create side effects, sometime serious, therefore, one step at a time.
Do not count the days since your last ciggi, it is not a completion, it is the new,and future life style. Avoid telling people you have stopped smoking, simply refuse an offered cigarette, by saying you have a sore throat, or what ever. Never become that person who says smoking is a disgusting habit, these are the people who once smoked, and in reality they would love to have a drag on one. The craving mellows gradually, but you never become free of it.
