Almost 9 months for me now, and yes, John, everyone else in the early stages of quitting, it does get easier as time goes on. The first couple of weeks were the hardest for me, but remaining focussed on the reasons for quitting, the gruesome alternative if I didn't, made it that much easier to fight it out when a craving stopped by.
Stick to your guns guys, it's well worth it for a multitude of reasons.
