Well, I'm sure staying focused on the light at the end of the tunnel helps to. We're junkies of a different sort and all of us have to pay the price for the bad habit we started. LOL...when I started smoking, I think I was sixteen or seventeen and did it to piss off my mom ... boy, did I show her, eh? We are all creatures of habit and there's hell to pay for the bad ones until its absence becomes a habit of its own. So, yeah, you're in for some serious hell of the nerves for a while but slowly but surely, it passes. It's been seven months for me, I don't think of them anymore, I don't reach for them out of habit anymore, the cravings have been over for a while. Right now, I'm at the point where I'll walk by someone who is smoking and at one moment I think it stinks something terrible while at another, I have to admit it smells good but that's a good sign for me to. Another positive sign for me now is that I can smell it all over people whereas I never could before.

My best friend uses my apartment at lunchtime as he works just a block away so he comes here and has lunch and watches the tube and plays with my computer. I always know if he's had a cigarette even though I'm sure he opened the windows, turned on the fans etc. THe nose seems to work much better after a while....a nose like mine should be able to smell anything a mile away LOL!

I understand what you mean. I tease my wife, and realize I'm only on my 4th day so cant talk, but she is sick of me telling her she smells like smoke. She's been suppportive even though she isnt ready/doesnt want to quit yet.
I originally started by doing it to get close to a girl so I could lose my virginity. It never worked with her (friend of hers), she realized she was lesbian (I have that effect on most women :P) and I got stuck with a bad habit.

LMAO! Well, at least you're not turning your male friends gay LOL! It must be rough though with someone smoking around you ... the smell must drive you nuts for one...damn, sometimes, when I still feel the temptation, its because I smelled it ... wierd, I hate the smell most of the time now but now and then, it sparks the urge. Fortunately, it's the only thing left that does. Being cheap is probably my saviour in all of this: I did promise myself that, at least for the first year or two, I could spend every bit as much on frivolous things from the money I saved. I smoked a lot so it amounts to quite a lot of money so, in some respects, it made me happier than a pig in sh**! I'll do something responsible with it after my vacation in spring ... like (dare I say it)...paying off bills, credit cards etc LOL!
