Hi guys! New here, not so new to quitting. I have done it before and somehow start again. Usually telling myself I am just going to smoke one, that turns into just for one day and then just one pack and a year later I am trying to quit again. I have quit a lot of things in my life, without much hesitation, but this is like a constant battle in my head. Good guy vs bad guy is the only way that I know how to describe it. The bad guy wins 99% of time. I've been smoking for about 14 years on and off but mostly on if I am being completely honest with myself.  I guess I am just looking for any tips, insight or thoughts on how to handle days 1-3. I get soooo moody it's not even fair to the people around me and I get the crazy waking up at 3 am and not being able to fall back to sleep, craving like crazy. How does everyone cope with those things? My quit day is set for a time that I have a few days off of work, my thought here is that I will be able to sleep it off when I need to and be pissy without hurting anyone's feelings ha ha.
