It’s been 25 days (and a few hours) since I’ve had a cigarette. About four days ago, I quit the patch. A friend’s roommate asks me every couple days,”Is it getting any easier?” In all seriousness, I tell him that it is not. I still crave smoking just as much as I ever did. I’ve come to believe that I am not so much training myself to not crave smoking as I am training my self-control. The cravings are still as bad as ever, but my resolve only hardens with each passing day.
I’m not sure how long it takes before you can genuinely say that you’re an ‘ex-smoker’, but I feel like one.

Way to stick to it! I’m curious, can notice any improvement with your respitory system yet?
You are an ex-smoker, ’cause you have managed to stop smoking. Good for you. It starts to get easier after 21 days by a proverbial cunt hair at a time (every 6 1/2 days). You hafta love that panic feeling. Thus a Jedi turns from the Dark lung side.
