This is day 62 for me but the last 48 hours for some reason or another I have been constantly craving a cigarette. The cravings are so bad I can actually taste that cigarette. Using the breathing technique and keeping busy, just hope tomorrow will be better.

Hi 2217. That sucks. You and I quit around same time and luckily I haven’t had cravings, knock on wood. But I know all about ideating about something I want. Like a junk food binge. The way I handle it is either distraction or stern talks with myself. Or sometimes I’ll even tell myself “you might do that next month - but not today” and by then it’s passed. Think if there’s anything diff in your circumstances? Or are you under more stress or around certain peeps? If there’s something you can change in your environment DO it. Is tiring to deal with too many cravings. Hoping you can figure it out.
