Its funny you talk about getting mad....Everytime I quit I had to be careful who I told. Constantly being asked "how you doing with quitting smoking? " They could be a supporter but man do you just want to tell them STFU and slap em.....or they are they ones who want to bust your balls when you fail. Either way, it sucks....but man no way is easy. They are evil little sticks....getting mad is a good way to look at it!

72 hrs without a cig...can't remember the last time I could say that.

It was crazy - I think all the nicotine finally left my body around noon yesterday because it was like getting hit in the head with a shovel. Could barely keep my eyes open. Was so tired i slept for 12 hrs last night and that never happens. I'm guessing it's because nicotine is a stimulant that my body was dependent upon. Crazy what these things will do to you.

Thinking of all the money I'll save has really got me in a good mood

*edit* Was in a good mood until I read the EEZ thread. Still not smoking

NICE.....22 days for me. They say it takes 22 days to kick a habit. I think for me it was sooner than that. It's funny how once you get past the first week you find yourself NOT thinking about it as much. I found that I needed to do things to keep my mind off of it....then when I did think about it, I would say to myself "wow, I didn't think about having a smoke for the last 2 hours." Baby steps, baby steps....
Keep up the good work....like I said, it DOES get better. Kind of like nursing a wound....every day it gets better.
Also, I have found that I used avoid the stairs up to the 3rd floor at work.....now I take the stairs and am realizing that I'm not as out of breath as I used to be....I cough less in the morning, and can tell that I can breath more deeply. Ahhh.....
Just some words of encouragement for ya...

Oh yeah, and money wise I used to look at my bank statements and see that I would take out $20 for a pack of smokes at least every other day if not daily....yikes!! That would leave me with $11 in my pocket....well, some of that would go to a $5 scratch ticket. So, I am saving myself trips to the store, saving myself from buying freakin losing scratch tickets and whatever other nonsense I would buy with the change from a $20 bill.....
Plus, there are a lot less swipes of my debit card at the local mini mart too...crazy how it all adds up.
Which gets me to thinking...what can I buy, what can I buy?.....
