Welcome Subodh_verma - congratulations on 9 days smoke free, that is great, be proud of yourself. I too quit cold turkey over 20 months ago and also posted here on Day 8 as was literally pulling my hair out You are in the thick of the mental battle as your brain re-wires and repairs from all the poisonous damage from cigarettes. I promise, it will get easier as each day passes, just take hour by hour, day by day, keep busy, lots of water, bit of exercise and above all stay close to us, we are here to help and support anytime and any way we can
Below is a link to some helpful posts if not already read, wishing you strength, you can do this!

Hi there ( DP338, RoisoiO1, &Thinlizzy54) .....thanks for your attention and reply....appreciated .....feeling motivated & determined again
What a massive achievement!!!! Well done.. keep focused and you will have another day under your belt. Am having cravings too today... stick with it... you are so worth your effort ☺️
I read somewhere recently that cold-turkey approach has a slightly better success rate in the earlier stages. You are more likely to get to be of the smokes at the 6 month mark. Good luck it does get easier. I also found that changing my routine helped and no coffee in the morning, got rid of a major smoking trigger.
