@Trezy apologies for the late reply I've had some time off recently. Firstly I just want to say its been so amazing watching you hit milestone after milestone - 236 days is massive. 

Cravings are really tricky, the triggers that prompt them don't go away - but I think what lots of people learn in here is over time they last longer in our thoughts than they do in reality? (if that makes sense...) Try not to focus on why you're still having them but more so on how many times you've overcome cravings since being quit. The fact you didn't smoke when you said "almost" means you've already built up some pretty amazing resilience. 💪

Yes me too! I want smoke! I think it depends on the person. Like how some people can smoke occassionally and others can't go more than an hour. Something like that. I hope I never forget how hard those first hours, days, weeks are because to start at day 0, again, would suck. I'm alot more productive now that I've quit,- the area I need help in -why I think I still crave, is finding another way to calm down and rest. I think for you maybe something similar. What is it that you miss about it. You've come so far, you will only regret if you start up again. So silly. xx
