Well, here I am, 2 weeks later. I haven't smoked a single cigarette in all that time. I'm not sure how long the cravings will last, but it seems they are hanging around for a while. I've noticed that it depends a lot on what's going on during the day. I hardly have cravings on the weekends, but during work, it gets really hard.
At times, things slow down and boredom sets in, other times, something happens that boils my blood and a HUGE craving comes along with it. I guess I should stop coming to work since I am supposed to avoid situations that make me want to smoke...LOL!
Maybe I can convince my boss that this is a health issue and I need some LOA or something. At least I can say that I'm proud of myself. I really never thought I'd make it this long without falling off at least once. Maybe after I've been smoke free for a while I'll stop thinking about it every time I see someone smoking in traffic or when I go out. It's not so much the smell that gets me, it's the idea since I always enjoyed it so much.
Funny, I was talking with Jack, an old guy that works at the same place I do and he told me he quit after 53 years of smoking 3 packs a day and doesn't even think about it any more. Maybe one day I'll be as lucky as Jack.

Congrats!!!! I know how hard it is to conquer an addiction since I quit drinking in July of 2005. I have relapsed a couple of times, but I forgive myself and go on. What a great gift for that baby boy of yours!
