6 1/2 days now. I thought for a bit last night that I had gone to the patch too soon--I had a pretty bad craving. But I popped a stick of regular gum, and that alleviated it.

I thin I'm finally getting some of my mental acuity back, if my success rate on the Sudoku puzzles is any indication. (Or, it could just be that practice makes up for my diminished mental capacity. Hard to tell.)

Anyway, I'm still smoke-free after nearly a week.
