As far as physically "feeling" like I am going to die if I don't get a cigarette, I am having the best morning yet since I took the patches off 2 weeks ago. My experience during this journey has been the first couple of weeks reminded me of hard labor (childbirth) where the craving, like a contraction, would get so strong it engulfed my whole body. It did lighten up a bit but that feeling of the "emptiness", which felt like my air and I would die if I didn't get some has been pretty strong in the morning for the past couple of weeks. This morning I feel completely neutral. I'm hoping I'll have a couple of easy(ier) weeks before NML. I'm also hoping no one rains on my parade because this isn't my 1st rodeo and I'm prepared for anything. I think I'd kill my husband before I picked up a cig. Don't turn me in I'm just kidding. I can keep him alive and NOPE at the same time.

Hope everyone is enjoying your w/e so far. I know I am
