on quitting smoking

It's been five months since I had my last cigarette.
I still want one some of the time.......even get a little agitated/restless because of the craving.
The other night after getting in my car to drive home from work, I reached for my purse to get a cigarette. I forgot I'd quit.
My sense of smell has improved..........&
Almost everything tastes salty to me.
Post nasal drip is a symptom of withdrawl from smoking.
I STILL have that whole thing going on..........the guilt is gone though........
The guilt I felt everytime I smoked............ I knew better. I knew the risks..............................NOW the guilt is gone .
I'm proud of myself.
I did something I thought was impossible.
And  my oldest son has followed suit. He hasn't smoked for 3  weeks. I'm thrilled beyond words, and very proud of him.
