I guess you didn't take your tripod.
Actually I did...
Just a long day, hoping for inspiration in Houston tomorrow.Bill has quit!
The 3 day mark means that it should get easier now & you're right Bill, that one lapse & it's back.
Kevy73's link was interesting, so now there are a possible 3 cravings per day for Bill to get through. Interesting that each one should only last 3 minutes? Have you hit that yet Bill?
Bill, have you told your wife yet, or are you just going to let her find out?

Yep I told my wife!
That's really nice.
Yes my beloved wife is wonderful! She brings joy into my life for sure!
That's really nice.
Whilst we're in soppy mode, you may like this old legend:
Once upon a time there was a single beautiful being. It was happy with life, it contained all that was good from a woman & all that was good from a man. It was so happy & contented that it didn't have much time or inclination for anything as it was so happy & content. It believed that it was the centre of the world. This made God angry & He decided to punish the beautiful being by splitting it into two parts, one part man & one part woman & he sent each part to the opposite end of the earth.
Every man & every woman has their perfect part & their soul is not complete until they find their other part. Some people may take years to find their part & some people will never find their part, but they must spend their life looking. Once they have found their part, their life is complete, their souls will be together again & they will be happy for eternity.

I still get cravings like what is mentioned. But I haven't counted them nor timed how long they last. I do know that the morning is one of those times.
Yep I told my wife!
From what I remember about quitting, the morning cravings can be reduced by taking a tall glass of water BEFORE you have that coffee. It's the coffee + cig that lights up the craving.
If it gets to bothering me too much, I'll give the water idea a try! Thanks buddy!
I don't drink coffee much at all, but I imagine it would be the same effect with my morning Pepsi! Lol
But all in all, I'm surprised that I'm not having too much trouble with it. Knock on wood! Lol But it does seem way way easier than it was that first day! Lol

The next project should be the Pepsi - sugar is poison!
So here is the plan in a nutshell …
dump the pepsi - replace with hot water and freshly squeezed lemon (no sugar)
Obviously there will be a craving for that "fizz" sound of cracking the can, that delicious nectar sliding down the throat as the little soda bubbles pop and bounce around.
But hey did you notice something?
Not once was thought ever given to those pesky cigarettes.
Now after the Pepsi …..
You'll have the camera and won't need anything ever.
Oh sh*t now he has NAS ….
I GIVE UP!

Lol that is not going to happen! Lol Besides I can't do lemon at all, since it gives me massive headaches. I don't like lemon anyway, so that's not doable! Lol
You'll just have to be happy with the not smoking anymore buddy! Because no other habits/addictions are on the list for quitting! Lol
And my NAS is not curable! Lol

Yes I went through the craving thing back in 1972 when i quit. I found out by just cutting back didn't work.
Had to stop smoking out right put them away and never pick them up again.
The craving will pass.
Bill if wife quit a while back she should be able to not start again.
I know when i quit that when I'm around other people who smoke it irritate's my eyes and
breathing. So i never had the craving to smoke again.
Its been 42 years now.

I agree about the Pepsi. He should switch to Coca Cola. (Job security for me)
Besides you don't understand southerners (Southeastern part of the US).
Breakfast southern style.
