no how i wanted to quit. I'd went by the sign. the 8th was supposed to be the day to stop. I came down with a bug. 5 days. Went on an AA camp out this weekend and didn't smoke. I can do that , sitting around a camp fire with every one smoking, might be a good thing!!

Sounds like you are doing quite well without those nasty cancer sticks. If you can sit around a campfire with smokers all around and not cave in it's a good sign.

hmm

it was pretty easy camping out. Sitting here all by myself is harder

Keep in mind... A Craving is NOT a command.
And the good thing is, cravings will pass..usually they only last a few minutes.
You should try to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off of thoughts of smoking. Ice water can help...many people have found crunching on ice takes away the urge.

The nicotine is out of your body now... that takes about 72 hours. All the rest of it (and the huge part) is psychological. My worst day of my quit was day 5... once I got past that day, things started getting a lot easier. Keep up the good work...you can do this!
