So it’s 15 hours since my last cigarette. I’m here writing this, in order to let another craving pass me by, which seems kind of ironic really.
Allegedly, the cravings last between2 and 3 minutes, so woooahh, I should be feeling better already. So I will leave it there and just drop in some timeline info on positive effects of giving up, which I have collated to help me focus….
