Can I make it?

After 3 months I had the most powerful craving last night. I felt like I was almost going to be forced to get out of bed and grab my pack of smokes. It was way too close. Out of all the cravings I have had over the past 3 months, that one was by far the most intense. Luckily I managed to fall back asleep and get through it. I was keeping a pack close by to acknowledge that I had faith in my ability to quit. I was going to give it to a friend that still smokes this week. After getting out of bed this morning the first thing I did was throw the pack of cigarettes down the garbage bin. I have to admit the cravings are more manageable now that I know I would have to go to the store and buy them.

I am moving tomorrow. This has been causing me great stress over the past week and I ended up getting a cold 5 days ago that isn't helping. I acknowledged from the start that this was going to be a very testing time for my quit and I HOPE I am near the height of the stress. I keep telling myself that a cigarette isn't going to do anything for me except make me feel defeated, raise my heartrate, make me stink and worst of all, give fuel for the next craving (except it would be a physical craving on top of the mental craving). If I can just make i through the next 48 hours without lighting up! It would be so easy but I must refrain at any cost! I know once I am moved and settled I can resume with my healthy diet (its been thrown way off for the past 2 weeks), detox, juicing, exercising and drinking tons of water. I don't think I will experience a craving any worse than last night!

Good day "Not this time".........yes same thing happened to me at 2 mths and worse at 3 mths. Also hit me hard around the 5th month.....the nico demon had one mighty shot which practically lasted a weekend on and off.But, i laugh at that now because moving into my 9th mth i have not exoerienced any cravings at all .....urges yes.....but you get over it .Sometimes cannot believe i am now a non smoker especially when i visit places where i used to smoke often. So, bear it.....will come good i assure you if you really want to quit. Cheers.
