Thank you for your response and words of support. It's great to hear from someone such as yourself who has succeeded in staying away from smoking for so long. It gives me hope that I too can be successful in my attempt at quitting. I will take one day at a time and hope that things will improve eventually. :)
First of all... Congrats on 7 days! That's awesome!! You're doing really great, and I know it's hard to keep it up but that's how quits happen. If I were you I would not put a patch on now because as you stated the nicotine is out of your system. Now you're dealing with the addiction (junkie thoughts).
Drink lots of water, take lots of long... slow... deep... breaths.... wait out the craving.... it only lasts 10-15 minutes and it'll be better. Just keep doing that day after day and week after week and IT WILL GET BETTER... I promise :-)
Just please don't give in...

My name is Kyle and I am on Day 7 of quitting smoking cold turkey. I have smoked a pack a day for the past 15 years and this is the longest I have ever gone without a cigarette in that time. I tried to quit once before and only made it a few days. I truly want to stop for good but am worried that the cravings will never cease. I crave cigarettes today as much as I did on Day 1. Does anyone know when things will start to get easier and cravings will begin to fade? This feels like the hardest thing i've ever done in my life. Sometimes, I wonder if I should put on a patch or just continue to go cold turkey since the nicotine should already be physically out of my body. Any advice?
