Thank you Henny you made me stop and think, I am very proud of this accomplishment and I do have a very bad habit of sabatoging myself and maybe that's a part of what's going on here so thank you for making me stop and do some soul searching.
Thank you also Deb I felt a relief to hear someone in front of me say it's a phase I'm going through and it will pass I also think you are very RIGHT about this being the nico-demons last BIG attempt to win me back, makes me want to yell out to him that I'm NEVER coming back to him.
I'm glad that you were both on tonight, I got to vent and get some really great insight

I am seeing a bit of a trend here. It seems that many here get worrisome craves around 4-5 months. I know alot of July was hell week over & over for me. Not that I would smoke---but just day to day struggles. Thankfully, they have been gone for the last 3-4 weeks.
Please hang in there. I promise the phase you're going through won't last forever. I really feel as I turned a corner in my quit now. I actually think I go most days without thinking about them, unless I see someone smoking or I log onto the SSC. How amazing is that!!!!!!
So--Lisa; hang in there --it's the nico-demon's last BIG attempt to win you back. It will subside.

You and I are very close in quit age.... you are my pal, so I'm sorry to see you having a tough Junkie to deal with.
I was having some moments on the "cruise" where I felt like my junkie was on the loudspeaker system calling my name.
Didn't you say a couple of days ago that this was the longest you have ever been quit? Do you think your junkie is trying to not make you successful?? It's always a fight against defeatism for me, anyway. Don't listen to that voice that wants to tear you down and make you feel crummy about yourself. I don't know about you but I feel like I actually accomplished something. You are so entitled to your big success of five months... It's a huge accomplishment!!
Tell that junkie to take a hike!!!
Take care.
Your pal,
HP

I just celebrated my 5 months but I have to be honest for the past month it seems like I am thinking about smoking alot of the time, I know that I can never smoke again but the thoughts are driving me crazy, I picked up a half of cigarette out in front of my house and for a split second I thought of taking it in and lighting it but I tore it up and thought how could I have even thought of putting that thing in my mouth not knowing who it came from let along just the nasty thought of smoking. I'm really not considering smoking I keep telling myself NOPE but I thought maybe if I vent here these craves might leave me alone, I've even had a few smoking dreams not just a cigarette but where I'm saying the h*ll with this and smoking packs and then crying cause I really dont want to be a smoker. I do get up each day and tell myself that I promise no matter what I won't smoke today. Thanks for being here and letting me vent.
