Get ready, get set, stop
I'm two days away from never smoking another cigarette again. I've gone from 25+ a day to just 6-8 a day. I have my patches and I have lozenges and the mouth spray as back up. I'm ready to never smoke again. My problem however is that I'm not "craving" for a smoke as such, its more of a tense, agitated, nervous, building up to something feeling as I cut back.
My previous attempt I lasted 10 days and then thought "I can just have one and I'll be okay" so I bought a packet. This time I'm not going to be that silly. However this time that "need a smoke" feeling and the feelings of being lost without a smoke break aren't there (yet) but they've been replaced with the feeling I stated above.
Anyone else dealt with this kind of emotional craving instead of hunger like craving? Any tips?

Congratulations on your up coming quit. You do seem well prepared for this quit.
I think if you were to read my posts, that you are a great candidate to be a HAPPY non-smoker smoker like myself and Red-67. Robn and some others are close if not already. These more subtle cravings are like what i had when i also reduced cigarettes and then went cold turkey. If you are doing so well now, i would advise you just to go cold turkey and rip the band-aid off quickly. Please read my story , Spice up your Cravings, and How to be a Happy Non Smoker. I hope you are in the Mind Set as i was . Please give me some feedback. Thanks and Best of Luck on you way to being smoke free.
Thanks for the replies! I'm actually really excited about this, the reason I'm preparing and I have a plan is because I want this to be my last quit. This is it. I'm confident I can do this and I'm ready to be a non smoker! If its anxiety it's really got no basis, I'm excited for this! So it can bugger off haha.
