Awesome! How have you found the quitting so far? I had my last smoke 8 days ago and so far the only thing that I've been struggling with is how WEIRD everything is tasting. Good news for me is that chocolate is now way too sweet so that can only help with the weight loss. @h1p1n3 - I'm with you on the driving thing. My…
