Remember nicotine is a drug and you're an addict.

If you had kicked heroin would you be asking "is there ever a time when I'll feel good and happy about not shooting up"?, and would you seriously be contemplating sticking a needle in your arm again just because you didn't feel all great and perky today?

BTW....I don't really know how long I've been off the smokes....I decided not to count anymore.
I was listening to this motivational tape about something else and the guy said he was talking to an alcoholic or junky or something like that and the guy was like "I'm X days sober", and he replied "Why are you counting? So that when you go back to it you can tell everyone how long you had quit for?"

That kind of hit home and made me realize that if I'm throwing them out forever, then it doesn't matter how long it's been since I had one....counting is just another way to remind me of the habit I'm trying to forget about.
