Whenever a smoking thought pops into my head, the thought of my wife running me over with the car quickly chases it away.

I appreciate the straight talk without any sugar coating. Gotta get real about this shitty habit. Today is my day 8....tell it like it is. I feel like I'm in recovery and taking in fresh air.

My mother in law quit smoking in her 50's and she is soon turning 75 and she still has random thoughts of smoking a cigarette.  The addiction is real, I have only been smoking free a little over three months so its a struggle but it is worth it, I have told myself that I hope that at the end of my life I will die from natural causes rather than smoking related diseases or cancer caused by smoking.  I have noticed since I quit smoking I see many smokers on TV and my husband is a smoker, when he comes in the house he reeks, it does not smell good, sometimes I get a head ache from the smell.  I don't see anything attractive it reminds me of how badly I was addicted to that cancer stick for 20 years and the only regret is that I wish I would have quit before I started raising a family.  I rotated my cigarette breaks around family time and that is absurd!

Congrats on staying smoke free for Years!  That is a great accomplishment!

You won't have to struggle forever. It will get better. I noticed how bad the smell of stale smoke is on people when I quit too, I'm glad I don't have to smell like that anymore. I'd rather be an ex-smoker and get a smoking thought once in a while than a smoker who always wants to quit.
