Fozzy5, I would like to say it does get easier...and it does somewhat...the good hours come more often, but the bad hours are still really bad...I just use a lot of self talk...."I do not want to smoke again" I will not let nicodemon win anymore" "I want to become a non-smoker" etc. etc. etc.
I know, a lot of inidividuals don't realize that before they quit. But you are ahead of the game if you are aware of this and actively trying to find replacements!
So I've been smoke-free going on 11 days and I was just making myself some tea at work when I checked my pocket for my lighter. It wasn't there in case anyone was wondering but it's just so weird that I did that. I guess getting tea is a reminder because I'd make myself a cup of tea and then go and smoke a cigarette.
I guess these things will happen for a long time. 22 years is a long time.
