If you have quit smoking, please post how long it took for your cravings to go away.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Quitting smoking

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
i put my quit date on a site to keep track:
Your Quit Date is: 8/31/2003 11:59:59 PM
Time Smoke-Free: 47 days, 7 minutes and 5 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 705
Lifetime Saved: 5 days, 9 hours
Money Saved: $252.00
now i get cravings like once a week,when i'm in a smoky environment or with friends that smoke,but they're VERY weak and easy to control. the real pain in the ass is getting thru first 2 weeks, after that its a breeze.
ps. dont use any "quit smoking aids", those are 100% bullsh1t.

!"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Thanks for the perspectives guys.
I smoked a pack of Camel Ultra Lights every day. Any estimates on how long it will take for my cravings to go away.
