Berk, you are doing great. One thing I was not prepared for though so hopefully others can be is this - At some point (three months for me) cravings come back and hit real hard. When that day (or days) does come, do NOT give in. I almost did myself but would now be back at square one.

Big congratulations to you today John! 1 year quit is awesome You can take your place on the Lido Deck now sir. Relax & have a cocktail. You have found your ..........

what a fun way to start the day -3 Good Morning

The 90 day thoughts are likely more due to environmental and routine changes tied to seasons than from any real change in physical demand for nicotine. Here are a few resource pages addressing this: http://whyquit.com/joels-videos/predestined-bad-days-after-quitting-2/ http://whyquit.com/joels-videos/thoughts-for-cigarettes-that-may-seem-worse-than-when-first-quitting-smoking/ http://whyquit.com/joels-videos/craves-and-thoughts-that-occur-over-time/ All of these pages have lots of links at the bottom addressing issues that may cause intensified thoughts for cigarettes. I must point out though--not all former smokers experience these reactions or if they do, they may be very minor. Don't want recent quitters or even people who are just now thinking of quitting to be intimidated by a concept of a tough time months or years into a quit that may not actually happen to them.

My previous two quits have ended under identical circumstances at the 90 day mark. Seems to be a "thing" in nicotine recovery. Failure is a rehearsal for success.

http://whyquit.com/joel/Joel_04_10_100_percent.htm Bookmarked to my homescreen on my phone. I just read it to get through a crave. Very straight forward and stark article on how smoking makes you feel like garbage.

If Im not too tired from work I believe I am at 148 hours clean. Quite a few cravings today, cue induced. They are getting weaker if not fewer or shorter. I am going to get some extra rest tomorrow and I think I'm going to drop caffeine completely for a while. Maybe that will help my brain chemistry to go back to normal. Im still foggy headed. I still have a slightly detached from reality feeling. I also have more oxygen. Never using nicotine or tobacco ever again. Not one puff ever.

I am 53 days now and after years of being a heavy smoker this is the best thing i have ever done. I really will never go back. When i am around smokers it horrible and makes me feel sick, i no way does it make me miss smoking. I think everyone has a "Magic" day after quitting when that craving just goes completely and you know smoking is a thing of the past. Mine last week when i went out a few times with friends, had lots of drinks but never even once had any cravings. That was the moment i realised my relationship with smoking is completely over and forgotten

I feel mentally and emotionally better than I did as a smoker. My problems have not vanished, but life is a lot less bleak. Tobacco addiction was like an invisible prison. Not even technically at day four yet. Still I feel better. This is the best thing I could have done for myself. Smoking really makes mental health issues a lot worse, nicotine is a really nasty mind/mood altering substance that I am never using again.

I’m here too! Two weeks Quit for me. Toughing it out! Thanks to you All for the support ?

Day 8. I feel really good today. The cravings aren’t constant. I think I felt so bad that even brief moments with no cravings mean a lot. But I don’t want to get too cocky. Never know what the next hour or hours may bring.

Your body is thanking you. Congratulations!

Way happy for you Latoya!

Hell yeah LaToya!!! One month is amazing! Keep climbing, you’ve got this!!!

Congratulations, Latoya! One month is a victory that's for sure. You're well on the road to freedom. Actually, you're already free! Sometimes it takes us a little while to really believe it. KTQ!

Yes Latoya - break open that purse where you used to keep your money for smokes and spend a little on something nice for yourself. Maybe a nice relaxing massage?

Wow !!!...1 month already...great going !!!!....keep climbing...don't forget to treat yourself....x

Great job Latoya. Congratulations.

CONGRATULATIONS LATOYA! Treat yourself! Great job!

Great job Latoya! One month is a fantastic achievement!
