Motivate yourself with the positives:

• Each day spent without smoking would be a reminder of your determination and the fact that you are moving closer towards better health.
• Remind yourself of the time which you missed upon with your family because of the habit.
Reward yourself:
Instead of feeling low and listless, plan new ways to reward yourself. Come on, after all not only have you taken the decision you also stuck to it. Cheers. You would never run out of ways to reward yourself.
