Day 2

34 hours without a cigarette. Don't think I've gone this long without smoking in thirty years.

Feeling a lot better today. Yesterday was HARD. Very intense cravings -- chest-tightening, anxiety-provoking, gottahaveacigaretterightnow cravings -- but when I woke up today, I just felt a wish, not an omigodigottahaveit compulsion, for a smoke. It was more in my head than in my body.

So can this really be it? Can the worst be behind me ALREADY? Or is there another shoe that is going to drop at some point, with a thud?
