Actually janette, I think your last point is really valid. Once you get over the cravings you do realise how much your life was governed by smoking. It is a real pain thinking can I smoke here? Have I got enough for Fags for in the morning? Shall I go outside for a smoke even though it's freezing cold and raining?
Good Luck, old bean. I think you've gone exactly the right way about it and have a positive attitude which is the main thing, I think.
