Well done. I'm proud of you!

My chain smoking father died of cancer at age 51. Listening to dad coughing his guts out every morning convinced me NEVER to smoke.

You are amazing. Remember that every time you think of another cigarette!

Proud of you!! That's fantastic! ???

Thanks for all the encouragement, and suggestions.
I'm not going to relapse. I can't.
Every time I come close to buying some, I stop myself.
All I have to do is think about the very real possibility of amputations.

I'm even stopping myself in my dreams. LOL

Try pumpkin seeds worked for me.

It took about three months for my daily cravings to subside. Hang in there. I have not smoked in 18 years. Also there were times after three months when I still wanted a cigarette. For me it was when I first woke in the morning, right after sex, and when I drank alcohol. But even those cravings went away a within 6 months.

It's a difficult thing to do. I went the gradual method, and quit cigarettes 40 years ago; but, like you, the craving didn't go away, until a couple years passed. The way I dealt with that was recalling how, when I was smoking, my chest felt like it was always being squeezed, like a tight bearhug. I hated that feeling.

Stay strong.

I'm about 20 years out with no smoking. There are still times it sounds good.

I gave up coffee for ages because I really wanted one with coffee.

Maybe if you sort out your triggers it will help you?

You're doing great!
