Hi can some one tell me if the cravin for a cigs stopes in time and if so how long . Would hate to think it's always there would like to think there will come a time when i stop thinking about them.

hi Brenda, everyone is different. The cravings diminish with time, but every now and then you will think of smoking, or so I am told. I don't think I crave ciggies, I just think about having one. I am on my guard though because you never know when a strong urge will appear. I am sure there will be other opinions, but that's what I think.......

Yeah i think a time comes where it does go. I gave up for 10 years and i didn't look back during that time at all. My whole life changed.

Your probably wondering why i started again after 10 years. I didn't know that nicotine is that addictive, i seriously believed that i could just try it again for old times sake just to see what it's like and be in total control of it. Turned out i wasn't. :rolleyes:

Hi Brenda, at 2 weeks in you have to stick with it and give it a chance. I can absolutely assure you that the craving does go, the more triggers you overcome and the more 'smoking' situations you experience without smoking makes you stronger and stronger, until it gets to a time when, although you might think about smoking, that's all it is and there's no uncomfortable crave or irritation that comes with it.

I know everyone is different, and I don't think we can ever expect never to think about cigarettes again, the difference is thinking about them without longing for them. It will come, stay calm, positive and look ahead to what you can look forward to, not backwards at what you think you are missing.

Keep at it, it's well worth it,

Lorraine
