Major cravings - help

I've been smoke free for 22 days and  the cravings have been worst in the last two days. I quit cold turkey but I do have nicorette gum just in case I need something to take the edge off.  Is it better for me if I don't chew gum?

100 days...already?

Congrats to you and your husband.  I quit 23 days ago but my husband still smokes,  but only in the garage detached from the house, its not heated and it does get cold in the winter. He does want to quit someday. I'm really happy I found this site it helps a lot and my husband thinks i'ts cool, he's happy that I quit.    WOW 100 days quit as a couple now that is something to be proud of!!!

thirty days

Hi  Jeniwho   
 
Think of all the cigarettes you haven't smoked in 86 days.  One thousand seven hundred and twenty cigarettes not smoked, seams like quite an achievement.

Mornings

Before I quit smoking, first thing in the morning I would make a pot of coffee and half an hour later I would go outside to the garage and have my first cigarette of the day.  Now that I quit, I still make a pot of coffee but I go  the computer room  and check out facebook and then  The stop smoking centre, it keeps me buzy  and I still enjoy my cup of coffee.

New here...

Hi Leelaknight,  and welcome to SSC .           
This is a great site to visit when you have cravings, everyone is so supportive and full of good advice. Taking deep breaths and drinking ice cold water  really  helps. When my cravings get to strong  I like to excercise it helps to relieve all that anxiety.  You can do it !!!
