Default I'll be your cheer leader if you want

Bobby,
You are doing great. Each day on this journey is another good day for new you:
Here is something I found on a UK site about how the benefits of quitting smoking are immediate:

http://www.myonlinedoctor.co.uk/quit-smoking.html

Quote:
Within 20 minutes of giving up smoking the effects are:
-Your blood pressure and heart rate will return to normal

-The nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in your blood will fall to half with oxygen levels returning to normal within eight hours

-All traces of carbon monoxide will be removed from your body within 24 hours

-Nicotine will be washed out of your body within 48 hours and your ability to taste and smell things will be vastly improved

-Circulation of blood will return to normal from 2 to 12 weeks
You may be right that the addiction is more psychological then physical. I am pulling for you.
