Keep it up, your over the physical part mostly now, it's just all in your head now.

Wow, I really must remember this thread once in a while.
Anyway, I've been smoke-free since; lung capacity has increased a bit, the yellowness has gone from my fingers, and my breath doesn't stink anymore

Praise be to week-long sickness bouts where you're too drugged-up to notice the lack of nicotine :thumbsup:

I've been in bed half the time and wanting to not do myself any more harm than is necessary, so it looks like I'm starting a smoke-free existence right about now.

Does anyone know how long the worst part is, i.e. are the first two days the worst for cravings? Does it suddenly get easier after x many days? If it helps, I used to smoke ~ 15 rollups per day.

Cheers

I'm approaching a year myself, on April 5th. Can't believe I've gotten this far. Keep it up, it's worth it.

Edit: I wonder how many times I've replied to this thread so far???

How are the cravings doing? Getting over the near constant ones to once or twice a day status?

Keep it up! My dad quitted smoking when I got asthma (from him!) and oh yes, that was fifteen years ago when I was six. He hasn't touched a cigarette since he quitted.

You can do it!

 

[CraigRT]

good luck buddy, that's freaking hard to shake!

if you can do that, you can do anything!

Yeah, I'm pretty much over them now (daily cravings), although that was pretty damned hard at first. I definitely feel better for it though
