  1. What struck me about your post was ... you're appreciating positive things about being a non-smoker. For you it was not having to go outside the hotel to smoke. For me it was that as well as not having to rush outside when my plane landed just to poison myself again! Also your statement about noticing the smokers/vapers & the smells while outside the pub reminded me of the first time I actually felt sorry for smokers & was truly glad I was no longer smoking was about 7 months into my quit when the wife & i went to Vegas for a few days. Of course smoking was everywhere but when I was in the pool on day and noticed the amount of people smoking in the pool ... I was just shaking my head in disbelief. That really brought home to me the crazy things an addict will do just to get their fix! I vowed that day it would never be me again; not ever!! Anyway; congrates on your 68 Days @Jane and keep up the great work! Stay focused on all those positives you're noticing and remember; smoking never did one good thing for us ... NOT ONE THING!
  2. Nope! Never on Friday 13th
  3. This is a normal part of quitting @Pilgrim. Just when you think you should be over the worst of the cravings, the nicodemon will rise up and bite you in the ass! You're denying your addiction and it doesn't like it. It's the final stages of withdrawal where those heavy cravings will hit you unexpectedly and they make no sense. As others have said ... get busy; distract yourself. IT WILL PASS! We all experience some form of these sneak attacks later on in the quit process. I remember mine about 6 weeks after quitting. Came really close to throwing in the towel but knew I had too much to lose by them so just gritted it out. Time to bear down and get past it!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
