Hello Cacles, and another big welcome to Freedom
I particularly loved two things you said in your post :-
"I feel free, I feel pround and I feel a lot of pain." It's great that you link the pain to freedom and pride, that you recognize that it is worth enduring that pain for the rewards it will bring. The physical pain will disappear within days, the mental pain takes a little longer but it does get easier and easier as the weeks go by. Trust us on that, Cacles.
"It amazes me how simple memories can take one's mind right back to smoking." Yeah, Cacles, it is amazing what power the human mind has. And that power is at the same time the biggest threat to a quit, and the biggest hope. You need to cram all the knowledge we have here into your mind. That knowledge is your armour against relapse, because an educated quit is a permanent quit. The other thing you have to do is to start re-training your mind, to stop it sending you smoking signals, and to make it respond to all the positive and beneficial results of not smoking.
Cacles, you're at the start of a wonderful journey. Be proud of what you've already achieved, and start to look forward to the rewards you will get from NEVER TAKING ANOTHER PUFF.
