You know I'm good with words right?
Well I wish I could adequately describe the physical, emotional and psychological battle raging within me as I get used to life without nicotine.
* I'm winning.*
*** I will win. ***
But heavens above! I envy anyone who managed to give up smoking with ease. It is *not* easy!
I have muscle cramps. I am *very* snappy with *everyone*. I'm having terrible dreams. Night sweats. I live next to a convenience store so tobacco is readily available any time.
It's shitty!

I was at 2 packs a day. Deciding on a 'healthier' route, I switched to rolling my own cigs using rolling paper & a very tasty pipe tobacco. I loved it (the junk they put in commercial cigarette tobacco is very nasty), & decided to not think about quitting, but to focus on all the awful stuff smoking was doing to me (stains on everything grey flegm, etc.). About 2 years later I didn't want it any more, threw out the stuff & quit cold turkey. The next 2 months were bad. Good now.

I quit over 35 years ago. Now, the smell of tobacco smoke disgusts me. I've not had the urge to take it up again. I'm fine, but I can't be around other smokers, they gross me out.
