Hi, RWW.
Rusty, 3galeh!, and Melanie have pretty much summed it up. The point that Melanie was refering to is something we call the 30-day pit, among other things. Most people tend to have problems around weeks 4 - 5, or so (can you tell this isn't exact science?). You may be experiencing that, too. Hang in there, it does pass.
What I say in your post is your co-workers. Most smokers are intimidated by a quitter because it threatens their own addictions. "If he's successful does it mean he's better than me?", or "Will I be expected to quit, too. What if I can't?". That type of stuff. Totally irrational, but then what about addiction is rational?
The fact that you have coworkers who are such good friends that they wouldn't sell you a smoke for $10 is quite amazing. You are blessed, RWW. Hopefully, they will watch your success and some will follow in time.
Keep up the good quit. Congratulations on 39 days. That's really awesome. :)
