Anticipation worse than the actual?

I am hoping to find someone who can tell me that the anticipation of the withdrawal and quitting was much worse than their actual experience.  Anybody??

Want to smoke more? Just think about quitting. Yup, I was one of those who plotted out how to keep my stash full on a regular basis... bought cigs by the carton just to be sure I wouldn't run out. Anticipation? More like anxiety... but then the thought of dying gave me anxiety as well.

It WILL pass, but you have to try it to actually find out for yourself. I didn't believe it, either  I'm quit day 30 today. Made it a whole month.

My anxiety about quitting dissipated on the morning of Day 2 when I woke up and realized not only didn't I implode, but the world kept spinning too!

It will pass, I promise.
