Bear, I think it all depends on the frame of mind that you are in when you attempt your quit! I have quit many many times. I have had absolutely horrible quits, and some not so bad quits. Most of them were short lived. This one was not so bad, and moving along very nicely so far thank you.
What frame of mind makes a difference? Having a positive, 'I can do this' attitude, preparing for what you will need, learning everything you can and being ready for it to be bad, just in case. :)
