Jazz, It does make sense and this may be good news or bad but for me it happened around 90 Days. I went through a full-fledged emotional upheaval during the first two months, not to mention the physical adjustments. I wouldn't trade it for the world though because after all of it settled, I was "me" again but a "me" that I hadn't seen for a long time and one that was better and ready for whatever came next. After I grew back into myself as a non-smoker, I realized the hold nicotine had on me and all the ways it jacked up my body. There was no going back. Your day could come sooner than my did but when you get there, you will be so glad that you stayed the course. You'll be free!

I tried to find the "light switch" once during a former quit attempt: went to a hypnotherapist hoping naivly that she might "banish" the thought from my mind- or at least change the emotions linked to smoking. Well, it never worked.... Gradual it is. Which is a lot less satisfying... But I can get through most of a "normal work day" now often without thinking of a cigarette. Evenings are more difficult :-) But I remember having difficulty leaving the house in the morning without LONGING for a cigarette- or wanting to take breaks during work to smoke. So yes, gradually, it gets better.... Thank you!

That�s an interesting thought about turning on or off a light switch. I�ve been dealing with major fatigue still, and just not feeling myself. I�m not nearly as upbeat and positive and full of life as I normally am. I keep waiting for the day when I wake up and say �Hey, I feel like me again. I�m back!� I really miss me. :mad: But if it�s so gradual, I probably won�t even notice myself returning to my original �me�. Does this make sense?

It is a gradual, getting better feeling that a quitter recognizes; not like turning off a light switch as our horse has pointed out. However gradual, remaining smoke free is not so difficult once you go a full day without the thought of lighting up. And of course even before this point is reached, it gets easier each day and every passing week. Something that Todash had said, that made me think about this, how she did not realize her 400 day milestone was here. A powerful subtle message she sent, smoking thoughts leave us, we forget about smoking. And when we realize that �smoking was just a nothing�, you have learned that you can function just fine without them.
