How does seven months feel?? I'm 7 days in a struggling a bit!!

Seven months feels good. You will have some struggles. Once you get the cravings under control you will find its the habit you miss. Its about changing up your routine. I quit with champix and had hardly any cravings for the 12 weeks I was on it. But when I came off of it I had cravings and a rough couple of weeks. I walked quite a bit and drank lots of water. Also gum and mints helped. But I made it. It will get easier. Also I was always an outside smoker so I could still enjoy my coffee in the morning. You need to find something to do when those cravings hit you. I never went for walks until I quit. So when the cravings were bad I walked and walked some more. Good luck
