Day 1, complete. I'm going to bed.
One of my main strategies to quitting the whole smoking thing is to disassociate - I'm breaking that thing right now, but only because of a severe annoyance.
Disassociating the withdrawls, the cravings, etc. with the actual smoking is hard enough without someone reminding you that you're trying to quit, or even giving you kudos and being proud.
I generally don't tell anyone - not even myself - what I'm doing until it's done.
I quit in 2003, and stayed quit until maybe May of 2004 (2 months short of a year) when I started getting hooked from the second hand smoke in the bar I was working. I gave in and just started again - 6 months later, I needed to be feeling shitty anyways (cold) to motivate me to try and sneak the shitty quitting feelings past my brain with the shitty snotty cold feelings.
Seems to be working okay - off to try and forget about it again
