Phillip,
Yes, time goes by MUCH slower in the beginning... I swear the first week took a year! Everyone keeps telling me it was only a week, but I still just can't believe that!
I think that when you're having that many cravings, you notice every single minute. Except, you can't concentrate on anything due to the carbon monoxide leaving. The only thing that you can focus on is the massive amounts of cravings you're undergoing. Therefore, time seems to go by much slower. I relate it to kids and how Christmas takes forever to get here! The same is true with the cravings ending... it's like we think they NEVER will! Not only that, so much is happening when you quit... your body is returning to "normal." Adjustments are being made in your body and in your mind and it "seems" to take forever and thus, it plays mind tricks with us during this time. Fortunately, this does go away and time returns to normal... thank goodness!
Crave the Quit!
