Deep breathing helps. I found that posting here when I got a craving really helped, although that is not useful when you are out in a car. So the next biggest one (and I have used this whilst driving) is to breath in through your nose, slow... hold, breath out slow through your mouth. This is very relaxing. Also to tell yourself not now, but that if you still want to smoke later, then you can get some then... just keep delaying. Also to realise that you are in hell week. You need to STOP smoking otherwise you are continuing to feed the nicotine monster. Get nicotine out of your system... I found that those monster cravings became much less powerful with time. They are still a thought process - but merely JUST that a thought. In the beginning it can seem horrific, but they do get less intense with time IF you DONT smoke! Otherwise you keep going back to day ONE. If you smoked on Saturday and havent smoked since, you are now going into day 2 AGAIN. Why are you doing this to yourself? Its hard work.

I slipped at two weeks and then reset my meter, so I have had about a month to get used to the common situations that cause those big big cravings. Driving was one for me too, and now, after a month of practice driving without smoking, it is getting much easier and I don't get hit with one of those big horrible, "I can't stand it" craves anymore. You have to have faith that they are going to pass and that all the people here are telling you the truth that it gets better. Also, I tryed every single thing people suggested here, no matter how silly it seemed to me so I could find what really worked for me. So now I have some things that work most of the time and sometimes I still have to just wait it out. Read the stuff Butterfly gave you, they are really good.

Seremban, You've experienced setbacks, take some time to learn from them. Try coming up with a plan you can execute with different levels for different strengths of craves. Example: Thought of smoking: Use your mantra Mild craving: Take a few deep breaths and reciting your mantra Moderate craving: Take a few deep breaths, recite your mantra and keep your mouth occupied using gum, candy, snacks Severe craving: Take a few deep breaths, recite your mantra and keep your mouth occupied using gum, candy, snacks, come post on SSC, get up and keep distracted for 1/2 hour, come back to the SSC and take a look at replies. Reward yourself when craving subsides. Remember this is just an example, you have to tailor your plan to fit you and your lifestyle. Keep persevering, Danielle _______________________________ The SSC Support Team

I quit on the 26th of last month and was clean for 5 day before I slipped. It was last Friday and I was working late and the urge suddenly became uncontrollable. The days leading up to this did not seem so bad; I was able to hold out with a combination of breathing and distractions with other thoughts / activities. This time nothing worked, so I walked out of the building thinking that the fresh air would do me well, wrong!! Instead I find myself at the smokers shed bumping a cigarette of a buddy who was on a break. After a couple of puffs the urge passed and I did not continue. Saturday rolls around everything�s OK since my Friday evening slip, no major craving or the like. I went over to my brother�s place to watch the England v Portugal match. We had a couple of beer during the game, though having a cigarette with my beer would have been the usual thing I did not feel the urge to smoke at all. I was pleasantly surprised; I thought maybe this quitting thing is not as tough as it is made out to be. Wrong Again!! Driving back, the urge suddenly floods me; my mind is just overpowered with the thought of inhaling carcinogenic fumes. My will is mush and I stop at the first store I see to get a pack. Same drill, couple of puffs and the urge fades situation normal. I did smoke a few more before I just threw the pack out. Poured some water over it first, just to be sure there was no way back. Any techniques on dealing with these crazy super cravings, any and all help are greatly appreciated. ** I haven�t reset my quit meter. I know its cheating but just looking at the numbers grow gives me a thrill and with out nicotine, I will take any thrill that comes my way.

seremban, First of all, each time you give in to the cravings, it makes the next time twice as hard. And then, if you give in again, then the time after that will be 3 times as hard. Get the picture? Like Rusty said, the only way to quit is to not smoke. You must decide what you want to be... a smoker or a non-smoker. You can't be both! Click[url=http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?topic=29023&forum=1]here[/url] to read how slipping affects a quit. I'm also going to bump a thread in the main forum called "The Social Smoker - What we need to know." The fact is that we, as nicotine addicts, can [b]NEVER[/b] be social smokers. It's not possible. It's got to be N.O.P.E. - Not One Puff Ever. That's the ONLY way to quit. So now, you have a decision to make... non-smoker or smoker, chained to your addiction for the rest of your shortened life. Which will it be? Crave the Quit!

You said that the cravings were uncontrollable. Let me tell you that they ARE controllable...you have to decide who is control...you or the drug you are inhaling? Quitting smoking is a matter of not smoking. That's it. It's the easiest concept in the world...just don't smoke! Yes, it's hard. But it's not too hard -- I did it, thousands of people are doing it. As Bubba said, we need another non-smoker in this group -- will it be you? I hope so!

Seremban, Quitting is a process and the whole purpose is learning. We never do anything perfectly the first or first few times we try. I think this gives you a very clear and realistic view of how strong your cravings will be. You'll learn ways of dealing and you'll get through them - that's how we do it. One crave at a time. They certainly are not unusual and some are worse than others. It's just a matter of preparation and perseverance. At the risk of droning on, rewards are absolutely essential. If you haven't already take some time to go through the quit program on the left. It is incredibly helpful to arm you for just such situations.
