I quit smoking today

Day 3 and woke up feeling more evil then usual after stressfull, aggravating dreams.

I stopped smoking due to the cost, I don't want to be an addict anymore and am reminded how much I am (was) everytime I went to a movie or resturant, I also am an older parent of an autistic 8 year old and I really want to be here for her as much as I can. For a second yesterday, I almost used her as rationaliztion to pick up again as Autism has some really stressful aspects however I recognized what my tricky lil brain was doing and took personal responsibility.

Feel like my best friend just died.

My No. 1 motivator was for the last three weeks I was awaiting an MRI and results for a rare form of lung cancer called a Pancoast Tumor. When the tests came back negative, I actually have herniated C6 & C5 discs in my neck which symptoms mimic the tumor, I felt like I would be a fool to ignore this warning sign from the universe.

Wondering how the posters from this long since forgotten thread faired and if any other ATSers have recently become smoke free.
