Took me 13 well-documented times to quit, so don't get discouraged.<br /><br />You'll be amazed how strong the smell of cigarette smoke is on the smokers once you are a non-smoker. You won't get winded going up stairs. Little bits of life out there that will validate your decision when at your lowest point.

It's weird, there are little things that I didn't even realize I was using my smokes for. Like telling the time, I would smoke an hour after I got into work and every hour after that, so I always had an idea what time it was, "Had three cigarettes so it must be around 1:00" stuff like that, now I have no damn idea what time it is. Dealing with difficult folks has been kinda easy so far as I think I am still in a bit of shock and "are you fucking kidding me?!" seems to be the general feeling around here so not much seems to phase me, yet...<br /><br />Webb,<br />Thank you!

So you'll feel emotions as well as physical sensations differently, and you'll have to confront some social or professional situations head on and immediately instead of from behind, or after, a cigarette. Takes some getting used to. If it gets too much, ramp up the gum consumption for a little bit. Tapering off works better for some than cold turkey. Or try patches... I had probably 90% less discomfort with them vs gum. Most of all, be kind to yourself. It's a process, a path. You've already gotten through the worst of it.

I don't envy you the withdrawal, and I've never smoked so I don't know how horrible it must feel, but, for what it's worth, I'm beside myself with joy that you quit.
