It's still very difficult at times... the past few days I've been finding myself craving really hard..... not even brought on by any triggers, usually out of the blue.... but I'm damned stubborn and keep reminding myself if I smoke now I'm going to be so mad at myself... then I'd have to tell friends and family I slipped when they ask me how the not smoking is going.... then my coworkers would be like "see I told you you would start again" besides one of my older regulars, very sweet man, came and visited me in the hospital, gave me a $100 on christmas, ect.... he said if I can stay quit for 3 months he will quit smoking... It's nice to know my quit is helping motivate someone else to quit..... especially someone who's been smoking for so long.
I find holding my breath for as long as I can when I crave hits helps immensely.... I get a nice little head rush.... kinda like when you did if you smoked too fast...
