Today is week 3 without a cig.
I've quit countless times and started again. The smell of smoke disgusts me and it makes dating tough at times.
I've always had a fairly easy time quitting but this time has been the roughest by far. My moods shift almost instantly, I have absolutely no patience whatsoever, and I am constantly craving a cig. Even using the patch isn't helping. On the plus side, my taste buds are back in full effect and I don't smell like an ashtray anymore.
How many others have stuck it out and beaten the tobacco demon?
It always will, until you light up. That smell makes you want to puke, but then you light up, and its not that bad...to you. I'm down to smoking on weekends, which hopefully will lead into fulltime, but its probably worse going to none, then a pack. I can imagine what the body thinks. Good luck.
