Nicotine cravings?!
Question:
Nicotine cravings?
I quit smoking cold turkey 3 years ago and drinking too. Yes I sound aweful but I made a positive change in my life and have never gone back. But OMG when do the cravings go away? At some point in each day I crave to smoke a cigarette. Anyoneelse suffer this?
Answers:
First of all....CONGRATULATIONS!
I have heard from friends/family that have quit smoking that they still have occasional cravings after many years. For example, my mother quit smoking 12 years age and still craves a cigarette at certain times of the day. A friend who quit over 20 years ago will sit next to smokers just so he can smell the smoke on them. I know sounds weird.
My advise is that when the cravings hit, find something to do to occupy your thoughts, just like you did when you first quit. Hang in there!
