Hey there Chuck - I 've got 139 days behind me - I am really just beginning this journey but I can say that it gets better. Read , read, and read more about this addiction and you will know what to expect and be better prepared about how to handle it. Good luck to you!
You have the first 24 hrs. behind you one day at a time is all you can do so tomorrow you will have 48 hrs and before you know it you will have a week just stack up those days they will go faster than you think.
I think the first thing that amazed me when I quit was the first few days of living without smoking didn't kill me! 🙂 Now that I've been quit a year, I wonder why I didn't see it the other way around. I'm amazed smoking hasn't killed me, knowing what I know now!
Keep moving forward, take this a day at a time, promise yourself to not smoke tomorrow. It does get better each day. I promise.
