I quitted smoking, day 3

The Third day. So far everything is going well. Haven't had any urges to smoke, actually I started recent the smell of it. My wife still smokes and I am glad that she isn't chain smoking and she too wants to quit smoking. Every time we had stopped smoking it has been harder for her. As she came of the balcony where she was smoking, I could smell that foul smell across the room and wondered how anyone can stand that smell? It all comes down to sense of smell is coming back. When we smoke that cause our sense of smell to dull so that we don't really smell that foul smell. I started to wonder has it always been that way or has the tobacco companies engineered that so, that we don't smell that stench.

"72 hours
Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine.  Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day have peaked for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and your lung's functional abilities are starting to increase."

Basically this was it. Three days and I am free!!! Not quite. Althought I haven't had any crave for cigarette and find that those idle minutes that I use to light one up when I smoked are a bit dull or... too idle. I have started to use my phone a lot more, since I need to occupy my mind with something else. Isn't that a craving? No, as I don't want to smoke, I use to use this idle moment to smoke cause I needed to occupy my mind. That was there already, before I starter to smoke in the first place.
