    Hi All. I've been smoke free for 20 days. It gets easier everyday but wonder will the cravings disappear someday... I would love to go a day without thinking about it at all!

    It will happen - it just takes time. After about a month, go back and think about that first day - how hard it was, how much effort it took. Again in thirty days and so on. Most days I do not even think about it any more. Keep it up - it is SO not worth it to go back.
  • I quit on Jan 1 this year. It was my 4th or 5th try. Even my doctor said nobody is really successful at first try. So, if you relapse then try again. But you have to really want to quit or else you will get stressed and have a cigarette. The first week is the most difficult, then it is much easier. Actually, if you can get pass the first 3 days you can do it. It has been almost 3 weeks for me now and I only think about smoking sometimes, like after a big meal. The hardest part is that you have to "undo" all the smoking associations like coffee, driving etc. Ask your husband to smoke outside, or in the bathroom. I also got a "vape". It has helped me because it feels like smoking but no nicotine. You should try it
