Welcome Princess,
I understand what you are going through! You have to be strong and fight. Fight one craving at a time. Of course they will come, and mine too did last longer than 5 minutes. They were one continual craving that lasted almost all day. But this was only for the first day. On the second day, they lasted about 1 hour at a time. Then on the 3rd day, it was about 10 minutes, etc, etc, etc.....
They are now a distant thought. I still get them, but it is thought now, not a craving. Just the junkie talking.
Take one step at a time. Have your plan ready. Come here and read and post. Make sure you have water at all times. Take a walk. Take a nap. Read a book. Take a bath. Scream. Punch. Cry.
Just do not allow yourself to smoke. It shouldn't be an option.
N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever
That is how we quit. :)
We are here for you. Please take our hand and we will walk through this journey together!
