April 20th will be 5 years for me. I still get the occasional craving for one, but it passes quickly. After 40 years of smoking, I refuse to let myself have a moment of weakness since quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done. I realize now that I'll always be an addict, much like drug/alcohol addicts, so anytime I get the urge to smoke, I remind myself how miserable I was when I did.
When my grandpa quit smoking, he would put the money he would have spent on cigarettes into a piggy bank every day as a reminder. I started doing the same thing, and deposit the money every year on my anniversary date. That comes out to $2400 a year which is what they cost be back then. Last time I looked, my brand has gone up from $4.50 to $7.29 since I quit
