Starbirder, today I read your post congrats on your 2 months I am very proud of you, like you I have smoked for over 40 years. YOur post sounded so much like I feel today I have quit for 40 days.
For the past couple of days I have been feeling like you that something is missing how come I still think of smoking I have put on weight, I went to the dr yesterday & he said gosh you put on 7 lbs in the last month, great that's from quiting smoking.
I know I hate smoking & I won't start again but I didn't think it kept on being so hard my husband who quit 10 years or so ago, said no I don't remember it bothering me as long as it is for you. But I quess I will keep him lol because I have been so irratible lately anyone else would have left me. So remember there are other people out here who feel like you do & when you write about them it helps us see we are not alone, and we can help eachother.
Again congrats!!!!!!!
Wanda
