Hi All,
Been reading all your posts with great interest over the last 4 months and you have all been a great inspiration to me. HOwever, am now 4 months in and still constantly thinking about having a smoke. Am wondering will I ever get past this or shall i just give in and have one?

Nooooooo....don't give in!!!
I'm just into month 3 and feeling the same, but cannot have one as I would have to start from scratch again....
I know exactly what you mean about the cravings, and I struggle with them a lot of the time, but I am determined not to give in...
Doris, you can't possibly give in, and I don't believe you actually want to. Listen, we can't seriously expect to stop thinking about something that ruled our lives for so long, but you have to find some good and positive things to focus on with your quit.
Go over your reasons for quitting, try to remember what the slavery to nicotine was like instead of focussing on the odd times you thought you were actually getting something from it!
Come on, do some reflecting, what made you quit in the first place, do you REALLY want to go back to the way it was? Of course you don't. This is just a phase, a mental trick/challenge, it will pass and you will feel so good that you didn't give in.
Stay strong and think positive,

Hi doris
hey what took you so long to post ....was it that bradders or jamangie scaring you away 
Awh shame you didnt post much sooner ..but glad to hear you now ..4 months into quit is amazing ....Dont smoke you know you dont want too & you know why coz you wouldnt be doing this post if you did.
keep going & take care
Thanks everyone, you're right, i need to start focussing again on the positives of giving up, of which there are many
Amazing how the little demon can still have some control this far down the line, must give him a good kick up the behind if he tries this again.
Hi Dottie sorry you are struggling, if you are on 4 months you are near me and I think I must be lucky as my craves are whispers now but I keep occupied and try not to think about it and I think it goes eventually for good, well done on four months and if you use the site it really helps x
Dottie....dont give in when you have come so far and huge well done on 4 months.
I promise it does get better and you are so so close...
Around the 5/6 months mark most of us seem to have a bit of a breakthough...or breakdown not sure which
Stick with it Hun, nearly there!!!!

after i'd done 4 months i hit a bit of a wall that made me uneasy for a bit, even managed to feel a bit down at that time too... but with perseverence you get through, and beyond it you find yourself again.
keep going, you will find focus among the chaos.

Well, that sounds promising...I'll be looking forward to that breakthrough...although I'm now on my second day of not wearing a patch...not intentionally, just forgot to put it on...so I thought I would try and continue (not sure if I am doing the right thing though)

don't take any unnecessary risk though, carry a patch 'just in case' tomorrow.. but don't sacrifice a great quit on an experiment otherwise.
