I've done nothing but cry everytime the yearning comes and I hate it! I wish it would go away forever! I never want to touch a cig again !!!

Never is a good word. It takes guts and resolve to say never again. I said it over 20 years ago. No matter what happens; smoking (or using, or getting drunk) is not an option.

Give it another week and things will start to get better. You'll live.

I just passed 7 years smoke free. My wife couldn't quit either but finally did. She's into her second month of not smoking.

It does get better and the craving goes away.

Congrats your doing a great job.

Thank u all for your support...I am fighting this no matter what ! I am never going back ..I want to be healthy , I wanna see my first grandbaby be born someday, I want to dance st there wedding!!! I don't wanna die at 55 as my dad did from long cancer, or 52 as my brother did of emphyzema and my aunt also at 52....I have so much in life to live for! and if crying the answer then so be it!

I quit smoking 4 weeks ago because I got tired of my rooms smelling like crud when I smoked in the house.  I also got tired of hearing my family say that they could smell smoke on my clothes and hair.  My sister and I both can't stand a dirty house but when I went to her house it smelled musty and old even when she washed the walls and all of the drapes and I was sure mine did as well.   We both decided it was time to quit and we did.  I have been using the committ lozenges for the times I really crave a cigarette because it has just enough of nicotene to calm the craving and Im tapering off of them as well.    I would not take the chantix because My brother and sister in law both said it caused nightmares and other weird stuff so they just stopped on their own.   The first thing I noticed when I quit was my wheezing was gone and I felt better at the end of the day.  I won't go back to smoking ever again...  There is one fall back and that is EATING everything that doesn't move.  You have to keep a close watch on your eating habits or you'll just trade one bad habit for another one.  I can taste me food better now and its really hard to stop with one serving but I do.   I have diabetes and have to eat  several small meals a day but I just choose wisely so I don't go overboard.   I applaude you for quitting but wish you would go with the committ lozenges instead of chantix.  That stuff is mind altering and not in a good way.   Hang in there and maybe next year at this time we cam celebrate togeather.
