Thank you Thank you everyone.  The support and knowledge hell week and then some is done.  And with the knowledge it got easier.  Bring on Heck week.  I am a non smoker with alot of help and support and knowledge from you all.  Even those that didn't post here I have read and read alot of old post and learned alot.  And because of what I learned here I have searched other places and learned more.
 
As soon as everyone learns that your not missing anything by not smoking and disprove all the things the demon makes us think it really becomes easier as I don't think about it that much anymore.  And when I have a crave I just think as soon as I beat it I grow stronger and the demon gets weaker. 
 
Had a very stressful day today didn't give it a second thought just kept telling myself I can handle it I don't need a smoke to make it worse.

Finally got a load and drove straight through my day wasn't to bad, anytime I even thought about it I just kept telling myself don't need it,  It won't help, nasty things anyway.  Actually wasn't a bad day.  Didn't get much sleep got to bed at 11pm and woke up and had a load at 2am  so going to bed so for me today is over day 2 done.  Have to get up at 12:30 am and go into Dallas and drop this load hopefully will have another one soon.  At least I have TV here and it speaks english lol.

 Hang in there Jay!  One crave, one hour at a time.  Baby steps.  And distractions.  LOTS of them.  Rest when you can, drink plenty of water and watch some good tv show.

Remember that any discomfort you are feeling now is only TEMPORARY.  This really and truly does get better.

Keep up the great work.

Jan
