it's so strange now to experience things as I go on my 60-day mark to do things that I've always smoked after or during and make things that I really haven't tasted in years.  I've learned that the car does start without a cigarette.  I can cook or do dishes without a smoke.  I can have a meeting with someone, insurance dude or otherwise, and not light one up after because they irritated me somehow.  The things that I thought was bland tasting, burst into flavor.  I have a whole new appreciation for watermelon for some reason.  Used to love the taste of beer and now it just tastes so bitter.  Still weening myself off the patches.  this is day two without one at all.  Having a few fits but I know it's just the nicotine leaving my body.  I have absolutely no desire to light up.  it's just not part of me anymore.........

Never be afraid or embarrassed about your "smoking thoughts" while quitting, they're there to remind us how strong we truly can be. Always remember, you will always WANT to smoke, but you have to CHOOSE not to. We can't break the ties that bind us without first changing the cycle that created it.
