Quit Smoking Months Ago Still Craving Will This Go...
I am pregnant, and quit immediately. I wanted to quit anyways because it just is not something I want in my life. smoking kind of is the one thing that contradicts my very healthy lifestyle. I work out regularly, eat extremely well, and generally try to better myself on all levels, spiritually, emotionally… etc… and I do feel better quitting and I also see the ridiculousness of smoking more than ever now and how it doesn’t benefit my life in anyway. My husband still smokes but never around me. And friends smoke too but never around me… I just cant help but fantasize about having a cigarette after I have the baby- and it makes NO SENSE to me that after all I realize that I STILL have that thought- I know there has to be an underlining self worth issue here or a self destructive thing… I do not want to smoke again- has anyone struggled with this ? and overcome ? and How ?? thank you so much!

Good for you. I hate to see pregnant women or women with children to smoke. I’m not a smoker myself and never have been so I really don’t know, but I found your question to be great. Hope you succeed in quitting. Good Luck

I certainly sympathize. I used Chantix to quit, solely to get people around me to “get off my back” about quitting. It’s been about two years now, and occasionally I still wish I had a cigarette, usually at times such as having a cup of coffee, etc. But, on the positive side, those times of craving have been getting less and less noticeable as the time has gone by, and easier to ignore. What works? Well, for me it was dwelling on the knowledge that it was just very tough for me to quit, and I just don’t want to have to go through that again.
