Hi Kay,

I'm on day 16 now and I can admit that I still get the urges, but they aren't cravings. Usually, cravings tend to calm down after a week or so and after that its just the psychological craving. Also, its the body getting used to the change. Don't see quitting smoking as a sacrafice, but a gain!

look up whyquit.com which might give you some advice.

keep :D:D:D and chin up xx

That is THE question, isn't it that most of us newbies want to have the answer to! On day 17 I still was very preoccupied by that question as well and annoyed with all the thoughts of smoking....... but literally a week later things were dramatically better..... my first months I had 2 'good days' (meaning I was not totally preoccupies with smokes and slightly depressed about my quit). Then 4th week I started having days and days of 'good' days in a row. Everyone is different..... but I think if you have a positive attitude and really want to quit then I think after 2-4 week things start getting better. (I feel I had a little extra help with my hypnosis cd) Hope this helps..... hang in there and stay :)

I know what you mean hon, I am on day 15 and thought i was doing good, but have had a rotten day - so many urges to smoke it has been unbelievable, made myself go out walking to try and take my mind of it, but still there - oh well think ill go to bed soon and another day will be over, lets hope tomorrow is better for us both

I think its more in my mind then a crave

Partner still smokes and he enjoyes it and seems to get the arse with me some times but thats his choice like its was my choice to pack them in.

he goes outside for a fag which hes not to happy about.

Hi All :D

You are all on week 2 well done

These craves/urges will go away soon but they do seem to vary from person to person probably because we are all different

Therefore it follows that our quits will all be different so there is no set time for anything to happen or not Just hang in there and it will get better

Love
