Well technically it'll be 24 hours tonight at 9pm est but I'm not buying a pack today so I already count it as a day. Been tough so far, cravings came on hard and lasted for about a couple of hours. I want to see if I can beat 20 days smoke free, I can do it again and this time stick with it for good, I hope.
I know it's a cliche but the beginning really is the hardest part. This December I went from inhaling as much hash as air to none at all, and honestly the first week felt like diet opioid withdrawal. Sweating, shakes, chills, nausea, crushing depression and boredom, and of course the cravings. Several times I just had to take sleeping pills to knock myself out, no shame in using whatever tools are at your disposal. You've got this, and even if you stumble it gets easier.
