LizQuit, I think you may have read the recounting I wrote the night before my 1 year quit anniversary. I wrote too about wanting to crawl out of my skin in the early days. It's both the physical and mental withdrawals at their peak trying to convince you to give in to your addiction. It's all normal. I know that doesn't make it any better or easier but you are not alone and we did get through it! You are right too in saying you never want to go through this again! The longer you stay invested, the more reason to stay that way. Yes, the anger, anxiety in the early days is overwhelming at times but it doesn't last. The benefits you will start to notice will last.
I bet you don't stink of stale cigarette smoke anymore - right? You're sense of smell is probably already starting to wake up again. You're right! Focus on the positives. The negatives are very short lived
