64days smoke free today

hi i started smoking when i was between the age of 13-14yrs of age... wow what a mistake and now im 31yrs old i use to smoke 20+ a day for a long time always when i wake in the morning,after meals,breaks at work after just about after anything i do but finally i feel free to do what i want now even sleeping better things smell better not coughing all the time its great but i found the hardest time was the first 2 weeks were the craziest on cravings but i found cos i quit cold turkey without any patches or meds i found things to do to deal with them luckily they fade away after 5-10mins i played my playstation 3 constantly too keep my mind off it and too keep my hands busy even at my job i would work through my breaks and stay away from the other smokers helped too cos just the smell of it would trigger cravings for me but great after the 2 weeks the cravings completely disappeared i can now take my lunch breaks and get off the playstation and feel relaxed its great not having to run down the servo or tabacconist everyday cos you ran out and you can spend the money elsewhere or save it with out feeling YOU HAVE TO BUY A PACK BECAUSE I FEEL ANGRY lol hope everyone else does great in there quit experience keep yourselves busy it DOES get easier bye all
