Smoking urges from positive events.

Much gets said about people who have strong urge(s) to smoke during times of stress. Indeed, most of the smokers and ex-smokers I know have a serious thing about smoking as a crutch.

However, I've observed that the strongest times for me are because of my previous life's reward system. I used to smoke to reward myself for doing something well, or for going outside and working on cars/yard/house. I have to get a mindset BEFORE I step outside for yard stuff and car stuff.

I'm 252 days without nicotine now. I've not been pushed over the edge at this point - I've much more to lose than to gain if I start smoking again.
