5 days since my last cig.. and only 8 total in the last 2 weeks. down from smoking a pack or more a day for 3+ yrs... i've got the urge... but im resisting. anyone else quit smoking? how long til you didnt have urges... i mean they say 72 hr physical withdrawal but i think its longer.. although it very well could be psychological.
 
I just finished smoking my last cigarette... of my curent pack! 😛

Good luck TheGizmo :beer:

i think you can, i think you can. 🙂

here's to your willpower holding out for a long long time :beer:
 
I quit Christmas last year, and every once in a while, I want a cigarette. Someitmes (like once every three months), I really want a cigarette. But I never do, just because I want to keep saying that I quit.

Congradulations, and keep it up.

I'm smoke free for 9 months now after smoking a pack/day for 10 years. The cravings leave relatively quickly... but they come back. The cravings that you have every minute that you need a smoke right now leave you quickly. But every now and then (mostly caused by situation) you get a craving. I barely get cravings anymore, the smell of smoke disgusts me now. I will never smoke again. Good luck to you!

yea thats kind of what i figured.. i guess another week of no smoke and i won't have mood swings anymore. i've just been getting mad/frustrated with stupid things.. bah! oh well its for the best thanks for the support evryone :beer:
 
The urge will not leave but will lessen as time goes by. Do not forgot to change habits that you did with smoking. I quit drinking coffee for 3 weeks when I quit (from 12-15 cups before noon ask bmacd) Quit July 18 2005 though my wife still smokes 🙁

when you get a craving do you talk yourself out of it, eat, chew gum, or something else?

That will happen but DO NOT give in to it. Mood swings are a part of quitting. They will go away.

I just talk myself out of it.. gum does help (some of the addiction is just an oral fixation... sounds gay but something to do with your mouth i guess).. but i end up just eating 50 sticks of gum in 3 hrs.. i've also gained about 10 lbs.. but i don't care much about that.. only weigh 150 lbs and 6' 1" so i need a little more cushion.
