It does get easier Orly to forget cigarettes. I agree with everything everyone else has said on this topic. I remember the first week was the hardest for me. I used a machine to stuff filtered tubes. And I had done that for years. So every time I would pass my desk, where I had kept that machine, I thought of cigarettes. I did enjoy making them. Maybe more than I enjoyed smoking them. Like DC2 said I think I missed them because they were such a big part of my life for so many years.
But now, and probably for the past several weeks I never think of them at all. I have taken a hit off of a friends occasionally and just found it nasty. In no way did it make me want to run out and buy a pack. I think of it as "testing my quit." So far my quit is very intact. LOL
I don't think there is any common timeline. All I can say is it really does get easier. I hated smoking, hated Big Tobacco, and hated the way I felt (coughing and spitting and shallow breathing) for years. But I think many of us felt the same.
I am really happy for you. And I congratulate you. Hang in there ... these miracles do work.
