G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever.... (replace Ever with Min,Hour, Day as required).

NOPE!

The more minutes you move away room smoking the easier it gets ,soon those urges will become a fleeting thought now and again .. Di I ever get the urge …after 10 years ..not at all ..I think if I wasn’t here on the train I wouldn’t think of it at all .. I come here every day tallking about cigarettes …do I ever think of myself smoking …Never … Im still so proud of my Quit …Freedom is the best feeling …

Yep, I agree with the other old pharts. The thoughts do still come every once in a while but nothing gnarly enough to use my JAC, and gone just as quickly as it showed up.

I’m a little past the 2 yr mark and I had a really strong urge the other day. I was totally annoyed by it… but not in danger. My experience thus far is that the cravings still come, but the intervals between them are getting longer. Basically I told it to “shoo” and kept busy with other stuff… I forgot about it in moments. In the moment the cravings really bug the crap outa me, but I also sort of appreciate them… a reminder that I am an addict (no matter how much time passes) and that I need to stay conscientious about my quit.

Thanks everyone!! I guess it's normal just hopefully it won't happen to frequently. But I did get through it!! Yay!! Thanks for your help once again!!!

I don't think the urge ever goes away it just gets weaker and less frequent. After 7 years I occasionally think one won't hurt but then I dismiss it with the thought that just one a day soon becomes a pack a day.

I believe I still had the occasional "urge" at my 1 year mark or just beyond. They weren't very often and they weren't anything I couldn't easily dismiss but they just seemed to come out of nowhere for no apparent reason. Didn't bother me that much really. Since then, I would say I don't get "urges" per se but every one in a long while it will just come into my brain that I would like to have a smoke. As soon as that happens, I just kind of laugh it off because smoking is just something I can't see myself ever doing again. There would just be no reason to and actually; I hate it now!!

Sirius Quit Date: May 27, 2014 Posted August 16, 2019 What?!?!?! Say again? Well according to a few studies and some peripheral observations there ARE a few benefits to regularly using tobacco products. Lower's risk of total knee replacement in men. Lower's risk of Parkinson's disease. Lower's risk of obesity. Lower's risk of unwanted pregnancy..b'cuz you ain't getting any Ashtray-breath. The Joys of momentary gratification as you feed your habit. There are suggestions that smoking alleviates ulcerative colitis. No need to plan for your 80th birthday. There is some blurriness to this list. For instance, you may not need total knee replacement because you weigh less because of smoking BUT if you DO need total knee replacement as a smoker your chance's of complications are much, much higher. In just about every other way smoking increases your risk of acquiring or worsening every other disease or medical complication, for instance (and just to name a few): Alzheimer's Dementia Glaucoma Macular degeneration Coronary Heart Disease Aneurysm Peripheral vascular disease Stroke Heartburn Peptic ulcers Vericose Veins Crohn's disease Gallstones Osteoporosis Asthma Lower respiratory tract infections Stained teeth Premature tooth-loss Various gum diseases Premature aging of the skin (your largest organ) Persistent coughing Smelly hair Yellowed fingers Bronchitis High cholesterol Weaker immune system Infertility (see benefits #4) Major diabetes complications Blood clots Early menopause COPD High blood pressure Decrease in sense of smell Pregnancy complications New born complications An increase of varying degrees of just about every kind of cancer Renal failure Increased chance of falling asleep and dying in FIRE. Yes, this has happened. Increased chance of complications and lengthened recovery periods of many medical procedures and surgeries ...and most significant of all...erectile dysfunction (see benefits #4; again). And these are just the medical disadvantages to smoking. We won't bother considering the disadvantages related to personal expenses, taxes, social stigmata, or the medical disadvantages of second hand smoke that impacts those YOU ARE CLOSEST TO YOU, or the resale value of that ashtray-on-wheels you call your car or the stench rising from your cloths.
