Newly quit and hanging in there

Hi there.

I am quitting with Chantix and the site "getquit" seems to be offline, so I found you!  I need support.  I have been smoke free for only 12 days, but that is 12 fabulous, awesome, incredible days!  I feel so much better already.  Smoked over a pack a day for the last 43 years and seemed to be smoking more and more lately.  I think about that, and I think of all the money and time I have wasted.  I am trying not to focus on the negative and stay with the great future being smoke free holds for me.  I plan to move to a place in the mountains that requires a lot of physical activity.  I want to be able to function there.  The last time I was there, I was short of breath within minutes of walking at that 3500 ft. elevation.  This is what I need to do. This is what I want to do.  I hate my addiction. 

So, when does the feeling of being in limbo stop? How long does it take to stop thinking about cigarettes every other minute? Ugh.  I want this to just go away, but I know it will take work.

Any advice is much appreciated.  I have never been in an online community (unless you count Facebook) so I am not really sure how this works.

thanks,

Lisa
