Cravings ease with time and everyone is different in regards to how long it takes. Still, we've all smoked for a long time so it takes a while to get past the thought of smoking as a crutch during certain times. Just remember, that cigarette will not help anything. It will just destroy your quit and you will have to start over from the beginning and sometimes people even struggle with trying to start over. What you are experiencing is absolutely junkie thinking. You are doing great with 2 months smoke free. Keep the quit and things will continue to gradually get better. You are doing great and what you are experiencing is normal.

Awesome job, Tyler! Keep up the great work.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

Welcome aboard @LadyDraga and congratulations on 14 days smoke free. You are doing a great thing by quitting the smokes. Stick around this site. There is plenty of knowledge and support you can get here to help you stay quit for good. It is good to have you here.

Not having my life revolve around when I would get my next nicotine fix. It takes a while but you eventually gain peace with not having to continue feeding this addiction. I used to think that smoking calmed my nerves. I realize now that this is a lie. These are strange times we are going through right now with CoVid and I'm pretty sure that if I had not quit, I'd be chainsmoking while following the news to calm down and try to put things in perspective. I now realize that I would just be adding much more physical and mental stress during a time like this if I was still smoking. Even in bad times you realize that life is much better without cigarettes and nicotine in your life

NOPE - Smoking sucks!

Keep up the great work and continue to celebrate any milestone you need to. Congratulations. You are doing great!

Congratulations on 4 days smoke free. Unfortunately anxiety is common during the early stages of your quit. Things do get better with time and a smoke free life is worth the early struggles. This sums it up perfectly. This is the addiction trying to drag you back in. As long as you resist and do NOT light up, you are winning. Things will improve but smoking now will just ruin the great job you have done so far.

Congratulations Sunshine! 7 months smoke free is great!

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

You're doing great, Guttie! Keep up the awesome work!
