After 11 years of smoking, I quit on Labor Day, 13 days ago. I've cheated and had 3 smokes since then. But there's 250 that I didn't have. Couldn't all of our bodies use 250 less cigarettes? I don't want to cheat anymore, but I might, I can't promise anything. For me, the hardest part by far was Day One - Day Three. I felt like I couldn't breath, or enjoy life to any degree at all. Who needs a coffee without the smoke.
It's not nearly so bad anymore, as the physical addiction is mostly gone, but psychologically, it still is hanging there. I try to keep busy and not think about it.
Good luck everyone. This sounds lame, I know, but don't quit quitting.
