Gorda, you did not want that smoke, the junkie in your head did. The only way to make her to go away is to stop feeding her. Glad you jumped back on, hilarious about the fabric softener.

Just say enough is enough with those nasty cigs. Be honest with yourself. You can't trick yourself by occasionally having one. The monster will sneak up on you again. Keep trying and Best of luck! I am cheering for you. I love the fabric softener story.

Wow, that's a new one for me. I was telling someone else here that my head itched like crazy when I finished the patch in a previous quit, but I've never heard of itchy arm at any time. Anybody else?

You should feel good about it, Gorda. You should feel FABULOUS. The concensus seems to be that the cravings begin to subside after 2-3 days. Not that you won't still have them but they won't be the monsters they are now. Are you using any NRT or medication? You're doing great, hang on now. Try distracting yourself with a walk, a bath or shower or something you never used to do while smoking. We're all there with you & here for you!
