It's day 23 and I didn't expect to feel this good. I go long periods of time without even thinking about a cigarette. I'll admit that my first cup of coffee in the morning feels like something's missing and the end of the day sitting on the deck unwinding brings back fond memories but the urges pass pretty darn quickly. I'm happy and laughing again. My temper might still be a tad bit easier to ignite but I have found my sense of humor after misplacing it for a couple of weeks and the guy whistling at his desk behind may well survive another week. 25 years ago, I quit once for 3 months. It was hell. Pure unadulterated hell and I crashed and burned quickly and hard. This time is so different. I wish I knew why so I could bottle it and share it with others who are struggling.
