The first few days of my quit really dragged on and on, but these days are going by almost too quickly! The mental cravings are there, and popping up at random times, but are not NEARLY as bad. Life is really getting easier, and to be honest a lot more enjoyable. I am more efficient, and enjoy the fact that I cant use anything to procrastinate what I want/need to do.

Working out is still well..... working out. Really helps to keep me on track, and gives me some time to myself every day, which i think is really important. Gives you something to focus on besides everything going on, just focus on sitting up this many times, or curling this weight so many times. Definately what i would suggest to anyone trying to quit. Going to do the Susan Kohmen race for the cure with my mom this year, and wont feel bad smoking in front of all the survivors!

Triggers dont really trigger as much anymore, drinking being one. Honestly, i get less hung over with quitting. I think we all know the feeling of smoking way too much on a night of drinking, or in general. That feeling will never keep me down again!!!

Other than that, not much new to report. I'm still here if anyone needs someone to talk to. I may not always know just what to say, but its always nice to have someone to vent to that understands!!!

Keep strong everyone! the grass is greener on the other side!

Your post really inspired me.  My quit date is about a week away.  I have been doing tons of mental preparation and planning.  Hope I do as well as you.  Keep it up!!!

I am with you. The grass is greener over on THIS SIDE. That butts messy sticky grass over there is not what I want in my life ever again!

It feels wonderful waking and not needing anything but the air that I breathe.
