hell yeah..had my last cig at 4:30 p.m. on friday 2/27. It hasn't been too difficult. I'm not sleeping very well but other than that I haven't experienced much discomfort at all. I almost gave in on saturday but am very happy I didn't....

woo hoo..

almost been a week now. I had a couple moments where I really wanted one but was able to get through them. The craving does not last long, it's just really intense when it comes.

I do feel a lot better already though..this time I went cold turkey..no patch, gum lozenges....

good job dude! i know exactly how you feel. my last cigarette was on february 16th and I am still going strong. The first three days were definitely the hardest, after that it was smooth sailing. It feels great, on my body and my esteem. I declare myself a non-smoker!

Terra, right now it is sucky, but it will pass and you will suffer LESS this season without the butts. I know cause I am suffering and between the allergies and the $$$$ I am spending to kill myself, the thrill is starting to dwindle for me! I am proud of everyone that has quit or is trying. It is a life-changing event!

For those still smoking...the FEAR of quitting was WAY worse then actually quitting. The mild panic that "what will i do if I need one but don't have one" can be overwhelming in the beginning..at least it was for me. It really wasn't that bad in actuality.
