Today is my three-week mark... I feel great and I am very proud of myself. I thought after this long I would be over my cravings. I don't get irritated anymore, or mad or sad for no reason, which is great. Still, a few times a day I just wanna go to the store and buy a pack of smokes. Even though I know I would have a few drags of one and would hate it. I still think about it every day. I don't know if its just because it's crunch time at university right now or what.. but I know it's just in my head, but I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. My boyfriend quit about a week after me so he is at two weeks. I don't feel like I can talk to him about it because he is using Champix and I quit cold turkey so he isn't having these cravings anymore... or so he says. But it definitely makes me feel weak, and alone in this feeling.

Is it normal?

Don't feel alone, I'm at a month and half and I still get days ( like tonight) where I really crave one. Just got to remember why you quit in the first place

Thats horrible when you think your all comfy in your quit and then bam wants hit. I call them wants not craves lol. Its like life we have good days and bad. Quittings the same and it sucks, I suppose we have to ride over the hump and learn from it and know that wants will become far and few.

Try not to think ahead and just take it 1 day at a time (I know its easier said than done and I was a terror and wished my life away for the first month ). Time goes by much quicker and gets easier once the first month is over, I promise!
