I think after a couple weeks  it gets easier. not easy, but easier. 
Stick with it!  |

				 | I quit once for a year and a half. I picked 'em up again in a heartbeat. 
Now, I just plain hate 'em. I didn't before.

				 | '''does anyone find it gets easier after some point?'
 Hey Bart,  I'm about to hit 4 weeks.
 I had a few rough days at first.. That was my physical withdrawal. I must admit the Wellbutrin helped immensely.
 Today, I can go for about 5-6 hours at times when I don't think about a smoke. That nasty obsession has gone.
 When I do think about a smoke I forget about it almost immmediately thereafter.
 Go for it Bart,,,,Give it HELL.   Mike

I was a 3 pack a day smoker ,(luckys , pallmalls).. That was like 18 yrs. ago . They say 5 days your not physicly addicted anymore . I'd say the little annoying things ,dreams,enjoying the smell,,last a good year. I don't want to overwhelm anyone with that . Thats nothing like the first week you went thru ,, Easy time .. Now that 3 pack a day guy seems like someone eles. That guy (me)was a hard core junky . Don't start again . You'll be pissed at yourself later . Time to grow a pair and not wimp out to the tobacco industry .   |

 |  Congrats Patrick .. Joining a gym is a good idea .. Getting in good shape makes less likely I'll poison myself .. I noticed a big difference working the beaches last year .. I actaully gained a few pounds at first joining a gym.. muscle is heavier than fat .. I'm going with it .. |

				 | Tagger...I hear you on the muscle weighs more idea...I have been good and going at least 5 days per week and have only lost 7 pounds...I am doing good on the cutting down and eating healthy and do think I am "shifting" some fat to muscle...I would rather be leaning down and am doing mostly cardio at the gym...reisisting the use of supplements and I am not sure aobut them. |
