Of course it does get better, easier and easier as you go. You have 33 days, six weeks, that is a long time. It doesn't have to take 3, 4, 5 months or two years of uneasyiness. I have read in "Quiting for Good" you should be in fairly good control after 3 months. Six months you are there and you maintain your guard. I am there as many others like Marie, PrinceeC, and Mama. That is all you need to do is to stay with the program. Stay positve, don't consider the longer term. You wil be done with the significant urgers by three months. It is really what you make of it, set yourself mentally free eary as Princess, Marie, and Mama have done. Adopt the spirit and control your mind. Sit back, relax, close your eyes, and control your thoughts. Try it! Love you!
Loving the quit!!

The first fews days are the most difficult. Stay with it; you are doing just fine. Go to bed early, drink water, and say NOPE over and over again. One giant step for you!

I tend to think it to be a shorter rather than a longer process. Think short and it shall be that way. Don't get hung up on the doing, just go ahead and do it, don t\think about, just do it and forget about it. It will be silenced when you make it so. Distract, don't dwell and have it be done with.
Hello
We do well when we use our thought proceess for doing the work This site is here to help everyone, new and not so knew quitters alike. The amount of time should not be of consequence, some have it harder than others, that�s all. My feelings are that it is much more difficult to quit for those that are single or alone, those that have smoking partners, those that have too much free time, those that were severely affected by smoking two or more packs per day and those that did not do the prep time such as reducing the cig intake before the quit.
It doesn�t matter if one has smoked for five, ten, twenty, thirty or more, it�s all trying but not to bad considering the cost of doing nothing you know. I have smoked for forty years and I am done. I may possibly pay a big price for my insistence that I continued the abusive trauma to my body for so long. I�m a quit person. And yes once one develops the habit, it�s tough. Smoking is a crutch, and that�s it.
I agree with you that quits are different although there are similarities in many such as those that have it done sooner rather than later. It is my opinion, that we all can put those smokes aside because we know darn well they will kill you or at least minimizes the quality of life you might have had without them. To this end my friend, if I can help you or any other on this site, I encourage all new and not so new quitters to come forward and lets� talk.
Stickin to it
