Why does it seem like it's getting harder?

I'm on day 65 and the craves still come, not as intense as they were, but they come almost everyday. It's more of an association to things in my everyday life than an actual crave for nicotine..example, coffee in the morning, what do you think of? A beer, ?? Dinner?? Trying to retrain your brain to think of something else when you have a cup of java is hard, but I think it can be done over time. Just hang tough Trish, remember your doing this for you, kill the junkie inside of you wanting that smoke. You can do it.

Trish, it looks like you are getting into the 30 pit. Around 30, 60, and 90 days your cravings resurface. Don't worry, they wont last long. Stay strong and fight them off!

Yeah i'm only day 11 into my quit cold turkey also and i'm finding some days I have horrible cravings and other days are not so bad... but just remember sooner or later all these nasty cravings go away sure its a long way down the road for both of us but if we hang in their do whatever we do to fight the craves we will be so proud of ourselves in the long run living a nice and healthy life :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]7/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 11 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 55 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $15.81 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

My cravings are more intense now than they were during the first week! Is that normal? How long is this going to last? Since I started smoking 13 years ago, I have smoked a pack or more a day. Honestly, I miss it. I don't want to miss it but I do.
