I am just needing a little support today. I am on day 4 of quitting and feel today has been the hardest day so far. I have smoked for 35 yrs and I feel particularly empty today. I really want this more than anything. I guess I just need some reassurance that I will be happy and comfortable in my own skin again. My husband and my oldest daughter smoke and are not ready to quit. I can not use them as an excuse to slip...but it makes it much harder. Thanks, Cat52
