Wow. Hang in there Adam. Keep us updated on here. I am genuinely interested to see how your progress is going.
I can remember the first 72 hours of my quit. I slept through most of it. When I woke up, I felt a little better. Not much better, but a little bit. I think at day seven I was really out of the woods, amazed at how easy it had become. I had crossed a threshold. Still the occasional craving, but I knew I would make it.
Whyquit.com tells you that your cravings for cigarettes will pass. I thought this was a bunch of crap, because it just seemed like one big craving for the first couple days. I honestly believed that I was always, constantly craving a cigarette. That's not true, but someone at day 2 of their quit won't necessarily believe that.
My best advice is to seek the power of distraction. Go do something active and energetic and then go to sleep. Sleep a lot if you have to. I wasted about 2 whole days on sleeping, but it was time well spent. I made it through and now I'm completely nicotine free. And it is so good to be free, my friend.....
