Hi Shutterbug -
Stay in the moment... Embrace your Quit - ride it like a wave. When the current leans to the left, lean w/it.
Just hold on... it does get better, I promise. Take it little steps at a time... one moment at a time
You are in Hell week... Wrap yourself in your gentle compassion and just hold on to yourself.
Distractions are such magic when craves hit...

Blessings and Light-
Healer

Life changes and moves on. Tomorrow will be different than today.
Keep moving forward. There is a saying:

Shutterbug,
Hang in there. It really doesn't last forever but unfortunately, we do not get over smoking over night. There is a process we must go through. As long as you don't light that next cigarette you are doing fine.

Congratulations on reaching your third day! Now you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you can go through a day without lighting up!!! It won't be easy still ... you still need to remain on guard against those temptations, but you can do it!
As you go through today, remember that we are here to help you through.
Rusty :)
