For me the first month was the worst and after that the cravings started to ease up. Just don't smoke and it will get easier and easier. Of course, there will be challenges along the way, but the longer you stay quit, the easier they will become. I know that in the beginning of my quit I was very impatient and wanted the cravings to go away instantly, but unfortunately they didn't. I just had to bide my time. Now after a year and a half, I can honestly say that I rarely get any cravings anymore and if I do, they last a couple of seconds and then are gone. They aren't physical cravings but more of a mental craving. Just hang in there and eventually they will go away. You also won't be thinking of smoking every minute of the day either.

Welcome to the Train Michelle! So glad you found us! You are certainly in the right place for quit smoking support. You won't find a nicer group than my fellow Train riders. Quitting isn't easy at all....believe me I know. The beginning is so difficult, but I promise you it will get better. With each day you go without a cigarette, the cravings will get less and less. The first week is the hardest. What I did in the beginning of my quit is I took cinnamon sticks and made believe they were a cigarette and I would suck the air in from the hole and make believe I was blowing smoke out. The cinnamon tasted really nice and doing that helped me in the beginning. If you don't like cinnamon, you can use cut up straws. What I also found to help me stay quit was coming on here every single day or at least every other day. In the beginning and even later on, it's so important. The cravings will get less and less, just don't smoke! Not even one puff because you will be right back to square one going through the same withdrawal symptoms. Quitting isn't easy but it definitely can be done as we have so many on here who have been quit. Some for over a decade and some newbies too and everything in between. Good luck to you and remember we are here, if you need us!
