Withdrawal a little better, but not by much.
I did a good bit of bitching here already, so I'll not go into that again.
Anyway, as mentioned before, I can't remember my last failed quit (the one that lasted 9 months), so I need to ask a couple of things:
- When am I going to start sleeping properly again? This whole waking up 4 times a night sucks.
- Since obviously I still have nicotine in my system - I'm still having almost constant cravings after 83 hours, the 72-hour "rule" of having a clean system sounds more and more like bullshit. So... instead of 3 days, what would be a reasonable expectation? 5? Should I drink more water to flush my system out?
On the plus side, my senses of smell and taste are superhuman level now, and I am able to focus a lot better than I was the first few days.
Feedback welcome!

Update
Since I have a lot of time off built up, I ended up taking the entire week off from work. I've been inside since Sunday night so I wouldn't end up relapsing from smelling someone's smoke.
Today I had to go out, and I ended up walking by someone who had just exhaled a cloud of smoke - I went into full panic mode, as I was inhaling a little bit so I could hold my breath - unfortunately for me it was too late, and I walked through the entire cloud.
I almost threw up. It smelled horrible. It did not trigger me at all - the only thing I wanted to do was throw up.
That is an awesome sign. Thought I'd share!
