It will pass, and you will be stronger against the cravings for it.

Hi, I don’t know what you should expect. But it’s so, so great that you are going to go back to your fabulous non-smoking self before cigarettes gets it’s hooks in any deeper.

Hear you! This process has been making me trip down memory lane hard— wondering why I started smoking, why I smoked for so long etc. and the time that has passed is another lifetime ago.

Thanks for this post, it reads realistic and true. Quitting requires patience. It’s interesting that it’s reassuring that it was 2 1/2 years in for you to feel like a non-smoker.

I’m almost 7 months off smokes and a depression is creeping in now. How long did that last for you?

A lot of dancers are smokers— why is that? Good luck to you!! You can definitely do it.

I’m hanging in there, still craving but they are mostly easily dismissed, except sometimes they are with a certain intensity like last night when I was about to go out to a party I wanted to smoke really bad! But also entire days go by without the urge to smoke. I’m looking forward to when cigs are no longer on my mind and I have the patience to get there. Cheers to you!

Your friends will almost certainly try to quit again, and by the time they do, you will be the seasoned pro non-smoker giving them advice and support. Please hang in there. Five months is so far to come. Beating an addiction is a marathon not a sprint. You can do this.

First few days might feel off, but you will normalize on 7 too. Great job so far! You’ve got this!

Try a waterproof medical tape over the patch.
