Don't want to be outdone...

...by the rest of the October 2010 Quitters, so here's my 3 month post :D.

Well, I never ever thought I could get this far again. But here I am! Three months in and going strong.

I have to be truthfully honest and say that I'm still getting cravings but they're nothing like the 'kill for a smoke' cravings of the early days :p. They're more like wistful 'I quite fancy a fag' feelings. I won't give in because I know that after one puff I'll be in 'kill for a smoke' mode again and that's the last thing I want!! :eek:. I strongly suspect these thoughts will remain for some time if not for the rest of my days, but they're easily manageable :).

I hope everyone else's quits are going strong.

Nice one Ed, I'm really pleased for you. You have such a sound quit going on, and you seem focussed and determined. Well done

Captain! Hats off to you! Great job.

I am starting to think that I, too, am probably not ever going to stop 'wanting' to smoke. But I don't want to smoke. If you know what I mean. :confused:

Congratulations on making it so far. No turning back now, not ever!

Many congratulations matey, I know what you mean about the wanting a fag but not craving one. I have been told that this stays, probably forever.

This is the longest I have ever managed, and like you, its for life this time.

Stay strong.

((((((MR ED)))))) MY QUIT BUD

I thought you had deserted us :eek:

So good to see you back and still going strong, you know i am so proud of you

How strange though, i have posted on my thread about the feeling of just "fancying" a smoke rather than "craving" for one..... I think its the best feeling ever, because i know i can turn my back n that feeling quite easily now.

Congrats Captain, keep it going

Hi Ed!

Sorry I missed this but how amazing is that?! You must feel great about yourself! Even if you still get the 'I'd quite fancy a fag cravings' these will start to space out and won't be everyday/every few days/every week anymore after a while I think.

I felt the same as you just hitting month three and I've now hit month 4 and moving on to 5, I can honestly say that there is such a big difference for me. The other day I had 2 bottles of champagne with a friend while getting ready for a night out and only after 3-4 hours of drinking (steady, not quick drinking!) I thought 'oh yeah, normally I'd have gone out for a fag now!'... it was great to not feel that 'need' and it was also fantastic to dismiss old habits so quickly from my head.

Eitherway, it's great to see you here, especially after you had such a hard time a few weeks/months ago. I hope you're super proud of yourself cos you should be!
