Day 37 why am I now feeling like smoking ??

I won’t smoke but I sure feel like it . Not sure why actually . Things are fine . Still exercising, tending to the garden , eating healthy , not really any stress but geesh several times today I’ve realky wanted a cigarette. 

Its kinda scary when it just rears it’s head like that. 

No worries . Never gonna smoke again. 

Just wanted to post about it and hope I’m always as vigilant at staying guarded to random cravings...

That's normal. I jut hit 10 months on the 15th and still get days where I want a cig.  Just stay on path and ahead of the Nico-Demon. 

You got this.

it's normal. not to worry so much. it comes and goes. remembering NOPE.... will make life better.

every day morning, make sure mind gets message... free from smoking... free from slavery.

even if no craving, keep repeating...all the best.

Actually, you have smoked more than you haven't. It takes time for those "feelings" to go away

The "feelings" come and go.  The idea is not to act on feelings just like you are doing NOPE no matter what Congrats on 37 days.  Things will get better. It was around 80 days for the "feelings" to decrease for me. It was when I realized that I was truly a nonsmoker.

Congratulations. Day behind so 38days!

I have noticed myself at about 21 days antsy with the smoking thoughts. Tell myself the work is now starting as the first 3 weeks was the excitement stage for me of getting that far. Better days are ahead For us newbies I am sure of that
