The CDC claims that nicotine is a "very addictive drug" that can be "as addictive as heroin or cocaine." Nicotine is typically eliminated from the body within 2 to 3 days, however, physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms may last for much longer depending on the individual.

In a way, you are both lucky.
You have each other as quit partners. When I quit the first time, my husband kept
right on smoking. I think I might have threatened to kill him, in one of my nicotine withdrwal momemts.
We divorced later, and he died from pulmonary failure.
I am once again trying to quit smoking, as I have emphysema. Quit now, while you have each other and your health. I am sorry you lost your Leo. Best wishes.

I second that on the sorrow of your loss of your little Leo, withdrawel is hell at times and I too agree with purpleiris that you are both so lucky to have each other to help pull each other through, may want to kill each other at times, but to have each other and not do it alone or like so many people here that have a spouse that remains smoking, oh God now that would be tough! Hang tight to your quits and to each other! You have an incrediable cheering section with your living children and little Leo....and us of course!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
