Agreed. That was my experience. And now I have been smoke-free for 5 1/2 years. For me, though, I have to remember how cunning and baffling it is, and that it's an addiction like any other, because from time to time I still have intense cravings and urges to start up again. I have come to accept it as a normal part of recovery and it makes me less likely to actually act out on it.

Good luck! You have my support!
