Hey Jan
You found the perfect space to let go, ramble, rave. This space is perfect because it is witnessed, shared and no matter what, people here will give feed back.
I relate to the runny nose, I also have an itchy, scratch feeling in my upper chest, the most likely thing is that my lungs are healing. Hooray.
You are absolutely dead on with that this is the moment, this time right now is the time to "take control of your life". And I totally relate to "It has been three days, cold turkey, no one dead yet Smile and so far so good." for me it has been thirty something days and I just sit and count.
Good for you, you know it will pass, sometimes the passing is better and sometimes the passing is passing. Keep the quit. Be strong!
Phillip
