It kinda made me think. Some people say, the first week is hell, some people say the first month is. Maybe it is all psychological. I convinced myself it was the first 72 hours based on past quittings, and now that I have overcome that 3 days, I feel more free of the urge. Maybe just tell your self it is "The first 5 minutes" and then you can insta quit...lol.
And I will not lie. This thread has saved me once already. I almost broke on Monday, and having to come into this thread and admit to everyone I gave in stopped me from lighting up.
This is one reason why I love this site, and how tight of a community we have. I actually give a sh1t what you guys think. Thanks to everyone supporting this thread.

Day 3 for me too, this is starting to get much easier. I'm not out of the woods yet as I've been able to quit for a week before only to fall back in... but this time definitely feels a little different! Today was the first day I didn't have the really bad craving in the morning, although I'll admit it, in the afternoon I cracked a little bit. I found one that had fallen out of my last pack onto my desk. I decided it'd be ok for just 'one more' and went outside to smoke it, only to find after one inhale I felt sick to my stomach. There was nothing appealing about continuing to smoke it, so I just threw it out. Great feeling (other than the nausea...) and a good motivator to not try having 'just one more'.
With the money I'm saving I'm going to buy a membership at the Talisman, really going to give this healthy lifestyle thing a try.
