Craving cigarettes

I’m craving cigarettes so badly right now but I haven’t smoked for 4 months! None of my family members smoke.

The strangest part is that before I started smoking (February this year) I was also craving them a lot even though I don’t have much exposure to them before.

I could smell the smoke when it’s not there, tasted it in my mouth, dreamt about smoking them every night and I’m 99% sure thoughts were being inserted in my brain telling me to smoke.
I don’t know why they want me to smoke. They say I will feel happiness when I smoke…

It’s like I need to satisfy someone else’s addiction!

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Please don’t SMOKE. I have been craving it too horribly … Just you need to distract yourself and just have some diet ice cream instead. You will regret after starting to smoke again

Do you want to be a slave to tobacco? Or more acutely nicotine and have to serve your master?

Master? slave? I would avoid it at all costs…

Can happen. Smoking is very addictive. Many people try multiple times before they quit. Resist it with the use of patches or gum. Watch your mind for what makes you crave a cig, and resolve not to let it play tricks on you.

@Jesspresso dude you got this !! since you haven’t smoked in four months the cigarettes would make you gag starting up again…you won’t enjoy it and then it will be too late you would have to start your quit all over again…I blew an eight month quit one time…took me about six months to beat them again…now I’m on day 12…I will never go back.

Yeah I guess this is true.
When I first started, they made my chest feel really tight to the point where I called an ambulance!

Sorry I’m a bad influence lol

I kinda know what u mean. I craved them before I ever smoked a single cigarette. Only my uncle and grandmother smoked.
Thankfully iv hardly smoked at all in my life. Literally like 10 packs. I vape or chew the gum
I’m embarrassed about my nicotine habit but I really do need it. I wouldn’t say I’m addicted. I think it’s something I should have had long ago to cure my thoughts and anxiety honestly

Does nicotine help your anxiety?

Yeah. I don’t get panic attacks anymore. No social anxiety compared to before…
Bad habit but what can I say…

Klonopin and all of that anxiety drug did nothing for me. It just made me feel dumb and tired. I took one and told the doc it was worthless.

I haven’t smoked for the same amount of time. When I get cravings and I get bad ones I just think of the cost. Disability gives me $575/month and I was spending $300 on cigarettes. Hang in there. Cravings pass. :sunny:

I’d just hold on to what you came to apprecaite about not smoking and hope it passes tomorrow or sometime shortly.

Also… it could easily be seasonal. Got the fall/spring setting in for us world wide.

I know that we got our first chill here and all sorts of ■■■■ is looming up nostalgically. Including an older perspective on smoking.

I for one am looking for freezing cold nights and getting drunk in warm bars… shaking in the cold with random heads who are still choking down cigs…

Even to the degree I might have to actually go out there and entertain the fake to death world of the bars.

Perhaps I can find a new quiet place with a good crowd.

Ain’t nothing like walking miles in the cold of winter. Also the clear night skies… just me and the universe again… or as close as I can get to it in it’s most satisfying form. Lone wandering about… finally escaping this ■■■■… got a new pair of boots ready to go for it to and that’s a rarity for me.

Anyways… don’t smoke… the withdrawal and detox are hell. It’s not worth it…
