Just hit 6 months myself at the end of February. Same experience, somehow psychologically the achievement seems to trigger cravings that I hadn't experienced in any major way for quite a while. Anyway made it through, keeping busy. Next milestone 1 year! See if it's easier then. The fight is not over... Great work Mphunte. Cheers!

Great to hear from you Mphunte and congrats on 6 months smoke free!

At least the clocks going forward we are getting brighter evenings, so dislike the long dark winter nights 🌑 ☀🌤🌙

Congratulations on the new job too :)
