Phil and Sillyme, it does get better, promise, just hang on. I started feeling better at the 3 month mark , before that I had bad days and good days, I think you have to ride the waves. I would go through the day with a goal in mind: do what you have to do today, work take care of business, breathe, chew gum, drink a lot of water and when I got home I would treat myself to rewards: not much, hot chai tea with gingerbread cookies, then a bubble bath and I would lay down on the couch with a pillow and blanket and watch tv to get my mind of it. Every morning I take the decision not to smoke and when the day is over I'm proud to have kept the commitment to myself. I repeat this every day ,today I will not smoke and tonight I will spoil myself, I'm true to my word, I don't smoke and I spoil myself. It's working for me, could work for you. One day at a time, thinking of you ,IT DOES GET BETTER :)Marie
