Stick with it guys. It gets easier after about 6 months
. Seriously, its tough, but you will be glad you did it a year from now.
I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 8 years. I quit 4 years ago, cold turkey. No gum, no patches, just stopped. I really enjoyed smoking so quitting wasnt something I was looking forward to. I just decided that I had to quit.
It took me 6 months to start to notice that I was breathing better and that the cravings had started to go away. I wondered if I would start back up again all the time. I wound up getting a little smashed at a wedding about a year later, and took a Marlboro that someone handed me. On the 3rd drag I almost threw up. It was absolutely terrible. I knew then that I had really quit and I've never craved them since.
Good luck, guys! It gets easier, just stick with it.
