Thank you everyone that commented on the op. It really helped me a lot! As for what happened? Well, I went home, worked out, and pretty much forgot about the earlier craving. I went out later that night and was around people who smoked and was honestly grossed out by the smell, which made me feel great. I’ve had a rough two days. I’m dealing with some financial issues and my gf broke up with me. Guess what, though? Amidst all that stress I still haven’t picked up a smoke. I’m actually approaching this with enthusiasm because I realize that I’m extinguishing a major trigger. I’m really proud of myself guys! Thank you!

That’s awesome! Not the being pissed off part, obviously? I’m really looking forward to not associating cigs with everything.

Thanks guys. I’m at work, but as soon as I get home - I’m working out and trying for new pr’s. I won’t let some dumb, unevolved part of my brain dictate my life.

How long is your quit? How do you feel now as far as cravings (please be honest)?

God, I wish there was a time limit on this thing - even if it’s long. If I knew for a fact that after a year I would never have another craving again then I feel like quitting would be a breeze. The worst part about this whole thing is that I feel like this torture will never end - I’ll just learn to “manage”. What sucks is that I know (or rather have a good feeling) that smoking anything right now would not feel good and I would feel really stupid yet the romantization of the cigarette continues.
