It's been one month since I smoked my last cigarette.
Cold turkey. No slips, at all.
But I still want one, all the time, every fucking day.

Respect my man ??

I know what you mean. I've quit a bunch of times, and need to again. Hang in there.

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.

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.
