Markus Quit Date: 02-19-2008 Posted April 13, 2014 Want to quit smoking? Good. That takes some nerve and that alone is enough to get it done. You don't have to be smart, you just need to use the courage and will that you have, in the right way, and get that brain of yours aligned to make it happen. Just quit. Do it now. There, you just quit. It's that easy. Now you are craving a smoke of course. It gets better, just as soon as you set your mind to being a non smoker and you free yourself from yourself, and from how you choose to live your life. This place cannot help you quit, it can't give you a quit, and it can't keep you quit. Only you can do that, and it's a choice. Either smoke. Or quit. The only thing that can happen to you here is to get encouragement and support. All that people here can do for you is to tell you how and to promise you that it can be done. You are absolutely going to have to hold yourself accountable and commit to staying quit, all on your own. This place can be effective in teaching you how to start walking after you've been crawling (quit) on your own, if you use it the right way. Understand that you are an addict first, and that's why you smoke because smoking is your answer to everything. If you are quitting you should realize that smoking is the answer to nothing. This also includes the journey ahead of you. A cigarette will never be the answer to anything you need. Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/589-want-to-quit-smoking-consider-this/

I’m a little past the 2 yr mark and I had a really strong urge the other day. I was totally annoyed by it… but not in danger. My experience thus far is that the cravings still come, but the intervals between them are getting longer. Basically I told it to “shoo” and kept busy with other stuff… I forgot about it in moments. In the moment the cravings really bug the crap outa me, but I also sort of appreciate them… a reminder that I am an addict (no matter how much time passes) and that I need to stay conscientious about my quit.

Nope!

I don't think the urge ever goes away it just gets weaker and less frequent. After 7 years I occasionally think one won't hurt but then I dismiss it with the thought that just one a day soon becomes a pack a day.

I believe I still had the occasional "urge" at my 1 year mark or just beyond. They weren't very often and they weren't anything I couldn't easily dismiss but they just seemed to come out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Didn't bother me that much really. Since then, I would say I don't get "urges" per se but every one in a long while it will just come into my brain that I would like to have a smoke. As soon as that happens, I just kind of laugh it off because smoking is just something I can't see myself ever doing again. There would just be no reason to and actually; I hate it now!!

Congrats on 4 years Mac , that’s just fabulous !

Congratulations on four years @Mac#23 you are rockin it!
