3 days smoke free

Today is my 3rd day smoke free. I have now cleaned and detailed my car to remove all cigs smell and soaked and washed my clothes 3 or 4 times lol. I find myself constantly thinking about smoking and have to remind myself that I no longer do. I am using champix and quit smoking on day 14 of the tablets. 3 days is the longest I have gone without smoking and I am proud of myself. As my partner and family have never smoked 3 days is no big deal to them and they said it will be impressive in a month. As cliché as it sounds I was a heavy smoker 30 to 40 cigs a day and taking anti depressants, I was always under the impression I was unable to use champix because of my meds. I had tried patches. Cold turkey and gum etc to no avail, thought I would be a life long smoker trapped in the cycle. Its only been 3 days but feels like a am gaining a lifetime, if I can do it anyone can do it. Believe in yourself and have small goals in place.
I'v gone a day without smoking and I'm going nuts without one. My partner was constantly asking me to stop because he's worried about my health & my future. It's so triggering and tempting to have one but I really can't because I promised him I'd stop. My dad smokes and it makes me crave one. I'd smoke atleast 4-5 a day and now I'm going crazy without one.
