Mama
I don't think I have ever had a 3 min craving. I know everyone's quit is different and if everyone else had cravings that only lasted for 3 minutes I want to know how. I had those kill me now all day cravings myself. Keep breathing. You are doing the right things. Read your reasons, say NOPE over and over again, Scream at the nicodemon and tell him this is your life now and he can't have it back. Exercise, take a shower, go to bed early. Post, post, post and read, read, read.
That is exactly what I had to do to get through those first few weeks of quitting. It does get better. Unfortunately it doesn't happen overnight. Go look at yourself in the mirror and say "I am doing this!" You have a week under your belt. Bet you never thought you would have that! Look at you! You are kicking butt here. A full week smoke free. Smile. You are doing great and you are doing everything right.
Kick, scream, fight, cry, break dishes... whatever it takes. Just don't smoke. Goodnight Mama
