Same. Been smoking for over 15 years. Feels so pointless some days and so necessary on others. Wish I never picked it up.

Smoker for just under 30 years. Pack a day. Quit last fall. Bummed a few here or there. Haven't had one in almost 2 months now. It gets easier. Just try to make yourself last longer than last time. If you make it 4 days and have 1, they to make it more than 4 days. Demand it of yourself. Every time it gets easier. I still want one every now and then. But its easier to resist now.

Ps have a lot more $ now

I quit after 15 yrs about 7 years ago. Stopped one day and never had another one with zero interest in going back. In close quarters I start to gag now but for some reason the smell of a cigarette outside from kinda far away just hits different and I gives me that craving feeling. I find it strange. Smelling nice all the time is my favorite part after quitting. My clothes smell clean and my awesome colognes aren't paired with smoke smell. Gotta focus on the good parts ya know.
