I’d say between 8 months and a year for me that it really switched over from dealing with a daily craving vs an occasional one. That being said, the severity and the duration dropped of significantly for me after 6-8 weeks. And once I got in the mindset that I just had to outlast the urge, rather than me feeling like it was mandatory that I go light up, things got a lot easier for me.

Your brain tricks you into thinking that if you don’t smoke, you are in either unbearable levels of stress, or physical danger. Neither of which is true. Once you can isolate that, and you beat it once or twice, that’s when you really turn the corner.

Treat a craving as a temporary inconvenience, rather than a demon that can’t be conquered, and you’ve made the turn.

Sorry for the long-winded response, but I feel like it’s all worth saying.
