Big urge at the moment needs to go away 😢😭

Hi Jodeh,well done for your 1st smoke free week! By now the nicotine should have left your body,but you're left with craving nicotine receptors. Each craving only lasts 5/6 minutes we have to learn how to deal with them. Over time they will get shorter/weaker and eventually disappear. It does get easier.

Here's a link which should help.

I hope so it's a horrible feeling xx

I used to run up and down stairs a few times to get through a craving or go and clean my teeth. Anything to keep busy and distract yourself will work. Keep going, you’re doing great👍🏼xx

Hi Jodeh, are you quitting cold turkey, if so you might want to consider NRT which would help with the cravings.

[Jodeh 3 Months Winner in reply to Corrina125]

Yes cold turkey today so bad xx

[Jodeh 3 Months Winner in reply to Jodeh]

Feel so guilty and no better as now have migraine xx

[Briarwood Administrator Ducky in reply to Jodeh]

Don’t worry Jodeh, you had a little slip but you can get right back on track. It’s not easy but as Corrina has said perhaps some NRT replacement will help. You’ve done so well up to now and you can continue on cold turkey or get a bit of help from a replacement like patches or gum.

Have another look at the pinned posts about alternatives. Stay determined and positive coz you absolutely CAN do this🚭✅xx

Hey Jodeh, you can try nicotine replacement therapy. I know it might sound complicated, but only it involves is chewing nicotine gum or using nicotine patches. I'm trying that know and I feel the constant urges are slowly going away. Just take a trip to your local pharmacy and get some nicotine gu.m. I tried the patches, but i feel the gum works best because it also keeps my mouth busy. loads and love and I wish you great success.
