You don't want to give up those awesome days quit you have now and start over again! @jillar Thank you for your advice. I did think of posting an SOS, but remembered reading a post somewhere by sarge that if the motivation comes from within, one shouldn't need to post in the SOS board (or something along those lines). So, I fought off the crave on my own, almost didn't but I did eventually fight it off.

I used it a couple times myself in the early days of my quit and I'm so glad I did. Yes, if you've set your mind to smoke you're going to smoke regardless but when you're to the point of looking for cigarettes then you owe it to yourself to post and let us try to help you through it.

Maybe it will occur, maybe it won't but I hope it won't and if it does I will reach out to the SOS board.
April 4, 20197 yr I have seen countless of quits saved ,thanks to the SOS thread.. This is your quit A... you guard it ,with whatever help you need...there will always be someone here to help you through your problem ... As Jillar said Sarge is only one person...who didn't need any help.... Many roads lead to Rome ....just make sure you get there.... Fight your way there if need be....this is your life and health your fighting for ..
April 5, 20197 yr Ankush that's amazing you fought off that crave. Well done 😀 If you want to post and SOS then do it. Living your quit by someone else's experience isn't necessary. This is your quit so do what is comfortable and necessary for you.

I just thought there was something to learn from what he had said. I know everyone's quitting experience is different. I will use the SOS board as per yours and @jillar 's advice. I did have a couple of strong cravings today as well, but just did some breathing and lived through it. Didn't search for a cigarette like yesterday. 7 hours ago, Lilly said: Ankush that's amazing you fought off that crave. Well done 😀 If you want to post and SOS then do it.
