Hi, Rightoguy. A lot of quitters go through a rough spot around 60 days, or so. For others it seems to be around 100 days. In either case, they are hit with craves that rival or surpass those in the first week. I personally believe this has something to do with the brain rebuilding itself. Something links up with something else and sparks a series of memory-induced craves. The good news is they only last a few days, then they're over. In many cases they don't come back for a few months, and even then they are really weak. Distraction is the key here. Do whatever you can to get your mind off them. Do not focus on them. They will pass. You will survive. It is only temporary. Smoking may provide a moment's relief, but then you restart the whole process, so why bother? That's like cutting off your arm to stop a sore finger from hurting. :8o: Congratulations on 67 smoke-free days rG. Keep up the good quit. :) Shevie [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 375 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,513 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1425 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 70 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

...And what better way to distract yourself than with a big ol' REWARD?? We tend to get lax with the rewards in the second month and really, you have a LOT to celebrate! Not only have you been quit for over TWO MONTHS you have left behind the Zyban along with the other smoking paraphenalia. That is an enormous accomplishment rG. Don't let these cravings rob you of the pride that you have earned. Did you ever think that you would make it this far? Try to remind yourself of some of the benefits and freedom you now have and let those carry you through this. It will pass before you know it.

It's a part of the continuing journey of quitting. In fact you may go through several of these periods??? or maybe not....we are all so different in what we experience and yet in numerous ways alike. there is a "letting go" that accompanies quitting. As mentioned, your brain makes certain adjustments and you continue to go withOUT nicotine. I personally think this contines for quite a period of time. You just keep getting "easier" with your quit. Hang tough....it will pass....

Rg, This is normal and will pass. You have to kick it to the curb! Occupy yourself and keep distracted. Start building something, go for a walk or take a cold shower! Whatever takes your mind off of it will help. It will dwindle in time :) Let us guide you. Josie ______________________ The SSC Support Team.
