Hi guy, I have recently come across a quit smoking timeline that is laid out by a Quit Smoking Message Board member (domld). I will quot it here.
It is a very detailed quit smoking timeline cold turkey. If you want to start stopping smoking, then reading this will tell you what you are going to expect for each day or week or months.
This is going to make you pull through the difficult days more easily.
You may be looking for a quit smoking timeline day 3 in particular. It is a pity that she didn't lay that out. But it will give you a start.
Quit smoking timeline cravings are difficult to stay away from. But the long you persevere, the less they will remain.
Rock on with your smoking cessation.

In the beginning I was not a happy non-smoker....A few quotes from some of my posts on this board in the very beginning"I had to keep reminding myself why I am doing this and right now I want to cry... I really hope tomorrow is a better day!" - day 5"Today is day 6, I am going from intense rage to extreme depression.... one minute I want to kill someone the next I want to cry" day 6"I am so irritable it's unreal.I'm getting no sleep and when I do I am dreaming the most weird and vivid dreams I've had in a long timeI am snapping at my 3 year old a lot too" - day 6"Although I was not prepared to be such an emotional wreck.... anger, stress, etc... expected... crying at the drop of a hat... was not expecting that" - day 7"I wanted to give in so badly, sometimes the urge is so strong I don't know what to do with myself. I start to panic and get hot and shakey until eventually I just burst into tears" - 1 week"It gets better right? Because at the moment I feel like life is always going to be like this and it's really starting to get me down.... It was definitely not this hard when I quit last time." - day 10"I feel like hell, I keep crying, nothing is making me happy." - day 10"I am feeling NO benefits from not smoking at all, I feel worse in myself and in my health than I did when I was smoking." - day 10"I want to be a non-smoker, I've been trying to be strong and not let this beat me, but I really don't think I can do this :'( " - day 10"I'm still balling my eyes out and want to curl into a ball and hide until this all goes away." - day 10"I still don't feel strong enough to do this" - day 10"Feels like it's getting easier, fully expecting to get bad days still, and I haven't stopped thinking about cigarettes... it's definitely still a daily thing! But can most certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel now." 2 weeksAs you can see day 10 was probably my worst day.... but just a few days later things started getting easier.I did have minor sads for a couple of weeks after, but a lot of that is to do with the weather change and a few things going on in my home life.Now - only 2 months on... I feel great, I am a non-smoker.... a happy non-smoker and I don't get the daily cravings, just the odd fleeting thought.My journey is by no means finished and I'm not after any praise.
