11 days smokefree...have a rough time

hey...11 days quit today...woo hoo....unbelievable that I've done it. Can't believe it.... 4th or 5th attempt. BUT....having a rough time of it the last couple of times. The cravings have come back!!!! Anyone else have this happen??? I've not had any nicotine replacement since Day 3 in the form of a lozenge...so doing it all on my own. And really want to stay that way. Couldn't stand that lozenge in my mouth to be honest. Any thoughts would be welcomed : ) .... and pleased to inform that I'm sleeping better these days : )
continued success to all

bad typing today guys!!! In a dimmed room.....should read having a rough time of it these past couple of days!!!
And should add....am head strong to deal with cravings but damned annoying!

Well done on 11 days , I am 4 weeks smoke free and still get cravings , some days it is fine , and then bam other days they creep up on ya. Not sure when it will stop but think they will get less and less frequent. Anyways good luck in staying smoke free
Keep it up AMD, well done. If you don't like the lozenges what about trying the patches? I found these hepled me although I am taking nothing now. I think I kept up with the NRT for around 3 months but now on nothing.
I guess we all work differently but whatever works for some doesn't for others however we do need to find that something to work.

Day 12 today AMD, As they say we learn from previous attempts, so it seems like youve nailed it this time.Something just clicks and you know its the right time and this will be the last attempt cos you wont need to go back to day one again.Its a tough road at times but onwards and upwards we march and yes we will get there..
Stay focused and good luck xx

Ur support has been truely fabulous but must confess I have slipped up!! Bugger! No real craving ... Could kick myself for my slip up. But pleased to report only had a couple with coffee ... My down fall. So it's back to it tomorrow....
