  1. If it's just a mental craving or thought, that I can deal with but the ones that I have been getting are physical. I'm just glad they don't last very long like in the beginning.
  2. Thanks everyone! I don't have patience, that is my problem...LOL!! Thankfully these cravings don't last very long and I really am looking forward to the day when they are completely gone!!
  3. OK, I have a question folks....when do the urges Stop? I know everyone is different and, I know it hasn't been that long for me, only 5 1/2 months, but I am still getting cravings at least once a day. Is that normal? Not all day cravings, but it happens once to twice a day, for maybe for a couple/few minutes, and frankly, it's very annoying!!! I don't want these cravings at all!! I want to be done with them and cigarettes!!!! For those of you, who have been quit for say at least 2-5 years, do you still get these cravings every day?? If you do, how do you deal with it? These cravings, even though they aren't lasting long, are really getting on my nerves!!! I WANT THEM GONE!!!! GO AWAY!!!!
  4. Thanks everyone!! I am plugging along and taking it one day at a time. Sometimes I don't even think of smoking which is great. In the beginning I would think of smoking every minute, but not anymore, so I am making some progress!
  5. Thanks everyone!! I know 5 months isn't very long at all, especially since I smoked for about 40 years, not counting the 6 years that I quit the first time. So 5 months is really nothing. For the most part her smoke doesn't bother me and I still get some cravings even when I'm not around her. They definitely aren't as bad the first couple of months. I just hope they get less and less as time goes on. I am hanging in there!
  6. Hi everyone! Lots of you know me and I am over 5 months quit, which is a big accomplishment! But, I still get the urge every so often, especially since my mother lives downstairs from me (we have a 2 family house), and she is a smoker!! For the most part I am ok when I go down to visit her. Its odd because I do smell the smoke, but it doesn't really bother me which is odd? Don't you think it's odd as well? I don't get choked up from her smoking (she mainly smokes in her kitchen and at night a little bit in her den/TV room). But, I go down to visit her many times a day to check on her as she is 97 1/2 years old and is doing great!! *Knock wood, thank God* She is really doing well for a person of her age!! Sooooo, how do I handle this?? As I said, I don't smell it mostly, but sometimes I do. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!!
  7. Wowie Bri you are doing amazing!!!! Congratulations and keep it up!!! Yay for you!!!
  8. Congrats Stew!! That is so great!! Yay!!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
