Hope its okie i post this here instead of starting a new thread, i did so because it has to do with stopping smoking.

Im coming up on my fifth day smoke free. I definitely feel more confident that ill be able to stop. Before this time i never made it longer than 10 hours

That confidence though is making me weary. Like somehow im missing something big and its going to hit me out of left field and sink me. For those of you who are veterans of quitting smoking what are some of the pitfalls that i should watch out for?

For me what worked pretty good was just allowing myself to fail but just not right now. Kind of like in AA where you go one day at a time instead of forever. I went one craving at a time and came through the other end okie, wasnt easy but so far so good. I have an easier time than most i would think in i didnt really leave the house to drive anywhere or anything so i avoided(who me? avoid stuff?) most of the stressful things in my life.

Thanks for any advice/warnings.
