This made me literally LOL! You can be a Azz all you want if that's what keeps you from smoking. I remember all too well the up and down moods in the first year. Some of us have EZPZ quits and some of us go kicking and screaming. I kicked and screamed. BTW-Cigarettes don't relax you. They never have. All it does is ease the withdrawal from nicotine for a few minutes and the moment you put it out you start the downward spiral again. To help get past this for me I used exercise, when I was able. Replace the smoking you did to "relax" with something else. You're doing a great job hanging in.

I love all the memes! lolol I cannot wait for the game. having friends and family over. Lots of high calorie food and drink. I don't know why I didn't take tomorrow off from work... Good luck Eagle fans!

JT, It can take some time for the cravings,thoughts to diminish. The time frame is different for everyone, but for me it was a very very gradual process. The first few months I thought about smoking almost non stop. It was mentally exhausting and I was desperate to not have to think about it anymore. Around 8 months quit I started to notice that I was going much longer periods of time without thoughts of smoking and from there, month by month, it just got to be less and less. Honestly at this point the only time I think about smoking is when I come here! Anyway, hang in there. It does get better and I can promise it is so worth it!

I quit smoking more than 5 years ago and it was the first time I ever attempted it. To be honest, I was testing the water really when I started, just to see what it was like. As suspected it was quite horrid! Once I'd gone a day, two days without smoking I was motivated to keep it going and started searching for information leading me to this board. Two things made the difference for me personally. 1. I knew if I started smoking again that, eventually, I would to have to quit again. I didn't want to set myself back to the beginning because I didn't think I had the energy to start again. 2. The support of the people on this board. Whether it's your first attempt of your 20th, you have to want to quit more than you want to smoke in order to be successful.
