Can't really answer your question re why thinking about smoking creeps up on you after a length of time without thinking about them so much...its weird. There is no rhyme nor reason (did I say that right? heheh) to stopping smoking sometimes. We just have to go with the flow and ride it out. Hopefully you will hit the stage soon where something will just 'click' and all thoughts of smoking will be gone forever!
I had major craves yesterday. They only happened about 3 times last night but were very intense and i had to fight them off and they seemed to last longer than normal.It was quite hard work after having a quite easy time of it.
I think i will get some nicotine gum to see me through.
At least we didnt give in Alan and hopefully soon it will get easier again.
whenever you are close to a computer and you have a craving - keep posting here - that keeps your fingers and your mind busy.
I am in week 3 - and I have no logical answer for when cravings come or don't - I am in a bar - no problem - I am doing something at work - a craving crawls up.
guess we just have to deal with that - there is a new member Mcka who has quit more than a year ago and even s/he still struggles occasionally.
But you know you can do it - cause you did it already for more than a month
Have just read you post and can't believe that we are having the same feelings, I haven't really had that many craves along the way which I thought was a bit weird as in previous attempts to quit have almost pulled off my limbs!!! but these last few days I have thought of cigs almost every minute of the day and having arguments with myself, deep down I know I don't want one but why am I soooo miserable , perhaps I'm just a moody cow with or without the ciggs lol!!!!
I have been cleaning today also with loud funky music playing which has helped, hope you get through today will be thinking of you....
Glad that your craving has passed mine too.... I'm not really on any kind of programme as such, I chew about 3 pieces of nicotine chewing gum a day but worry of becoming addicted to those!!!!
I'm starting to see a pattern with my craves they are definately worse of the weekends than in the week, perhaps its because we are much too busy to think about them, whats your views?
