NOPE!!

Welcome @Arnolder and @JustQuit83so glad you found us! Quitting smoking isn't easy that's for sure but in the long run it's so worth it in so many ways! I am relatively a newbie as I'm quit 9 months. 2nd time for me, first time I quit for 6 years but this is the last time I will quit. I don't want to go through the early days of withdrawal ever again. Anyway, my advice is to take it one day at a time, even one hour at a time. Try and focus on things that don't make you think of smoking. The beginning is very difficult as everyone here can attest to but it does get better. The longer you don't smoke, the less cravings you will get. What helped me was taking a cinnamon stick and pretending it was a cigarette. I would hold it like a cigarette and suck in air from the stick, plus it tasted very good. If you don't like cinnamon, you can cut straws and use those. Stay close to this forum as there is lots of good advice and help for you. Remember, everyone here had a first day of quitting, so we all know exactly what you are going through! Good luck to you both and have a great day!!😁

NOPE!!

Thanks!! It was just so weird because it came on all of a sudden out of the blue. I wasn't even doing anything that reminded me of smoking. I hope that doesn't happen again because it lasted about 20 mins or so. After I had the tea it started to go away.

Hi everyone! All of a sudden I got this really huge urge to smoke! No I didn't smoke, I don't even have any cigs, so I'm not gonna smoke, and I haven't in over 9 months! In the past I have gotten a few urges that would last a few seconds and then go away, but this time, the urge is still with me and it's sort of strong! Is this normal, have any of you ever gotten this type of urge after being quit for almost a year? I don't like this at all!! I have been doing so well and now, all of a sudden, I want to smoke!! Yikes!! Not good at all!!!!😬 Don't worry my friends, I am not going to smoke at all. I just made myself a cup of Mint tea!! 🙂 I just don't know why this has happened?
