I quit smoking on New Years Eve and was doing pretty good the past few days, but right now I am jonzing for a smoke. I could of left work 15 minutes ago but I'm worried if I leave now with this craving I will run into a store and buy a pack of smokes.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I did ween myself. I started cutting back about two months ago and finally had the last one on Monday.

    I can feel the tension in my lungs just thinking about it. It's all willpower, if you do get to the store get a pack of nicorette gum maybe. Quitting sucked so bad for me, but I hated smoking more. Try to think of that bitter shit taste. Wipe an ashtray with a wet paper towel and smell it. That should also help a bit.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    The crave is passing. So I should be alright.

    Just, not enough.

    You can get through this. If I can do it you can:)
    Take deep breaths, take a walk, chew gum, eat tic tacs. You don't need to waste money on nicorette gum.

    You can "ween" yourself off by cutting down to 1 or 2 cigarettes a day but
    guess what? Even stopping those would be quitting "cold turkey"

    Congratulations man, hang in there, you can do it!!!
    A real possibility I may meet you in my dreams ~ I go to sleep

    Cravings pass quickly. When I thought of a cigarette, I'd tell myself in a cheery voice, "I'm not having a cigarette right now." I chose to be happy.

    Ignore your cravings. That's the key. Don't think about it longer than 2 seconds, or you will give in. Also, picture black lungs and yellow teeth. That will help too. :)
    Another habit says it's in love with you
    Another habit says its long overdue
    Another habit like an unwanted friend
    I'm so happy with my righteous self

    haven't had a smoke since June '07...so glad i gave that shit up.

    the first week is hell, the second week is hell, the third week ...you get the idea, i still crave 'em, but it feels so good to be free of nicotine.

    keep it up, your body will thank you.
