You're good to go Superfly. I am in the middle of Day 3 and it gets a little bit better. I am a newbie and ain't HOF yet but I can tell you it's going to take about 3 days to get all the nic bitch out of your system.

These guys on here got your back. It's a great site so stick around.

Just don't cave. We've got triggers everywhere so they tend to sneak up on you. Grab onto that peace and serenity and it'll pull you through.

We're all on board. Quit like a boss.

Welcome quitter. The next 72 (-16) hours will likely be the hardest. Continue to "put one foot in front opf the other" celebrate the small victories. Avoid (for a short while at least) situations where you will be tempted (Bars etc). Avoid alcohol all together (remember that fat chic that time? Well that was an alcohol induced bad decision). You can do this we will help. I look forward to reading your HOF speech.

Its about 16 hours without anything, going from a can per day to 0, nada, zilch. Withdraw is not so bad, I comes and goes in little waves. I did feel pissed off at myself for no reason but that to passed. Went to the gas station for a Gatorade and Bread, I found myself sitting in my jeep, stareing at the store, craving a pinch and trying to recall why I was at the store. That was the most intense trigger of the day I guess. As strange as it may seem, when the craving ends 2 -10 mins, it is followed by a since of peace and serinity i have not felt in a long long time. I guess its my brain deciding its not gettin what it wants so its producing natural chemicals that have been inhibited my Nicotine for so long. I want to face these cravings as a challenge.
