The first AND second time I quit... there was no sailing! It was horrendous.. awlful, wanted to pull my skin off kind of feeling. Yes, that graphic...
This time for some reason, it's just not there. I breathe in deep and I can actually feel my lungs - I went for a walk today which turned into a half run/half walk, because I could! I'm just so elated about the possiblities of not smoking, the withdrawl things haven't really bothered me.
I also have the Short-term satisfaction of getting into the Peace Corps which has been my goal in life for the past 3 years. They do not accept smokers. So, I quit, that dream is more important to me than nasty cigs which I hated anyways. I think that has really helped me through this time around.
Everytime I get a craving I tell myself "It's the addiction talking, and I am more than the addiction, I can say NOOOO!!" and it helps.
But, yeah, its weird how this time it's so easy...
If @ first you don't succeed, try, try again!
