Congratulations on quiting!
I quit 4 1/2 YEARS ago and still have cravings...
when I am lonely, bored, feel like overeating, stressed, when I am around smokers, etc.
So I can not say that will go away for sure.
But for me I just keep reminding myself that I am healthier, don't smell like an ashtray, and am not wasting money on them. They do not control me. I will be around longer for my loved ones. I don't wake up coughing or with a sore throat anymore.
Remember the reasons you quit and remind yourself as often as you need too. You are worth living a life free from the habit.
Ask God to give you strength. And try to find something to take the place of cigs. I used to suck on mentholated cough drops a lot.

I'm having one right now. They are addictive, that's why. Manufacturers put nicotine in them and I hear it is harder to kick than heroin! I'd love to quit, but I keep making up excuses. The addiction, I understand is mostly in your head right now because after 3 days without nicotine it is supposed to be out of your system. Keep going! You are doing fine! Wish I were you on that account! Most cravings last 8 to 30 minutes. Tough it out. I have all the answers, but not the guts to just cut it out like you have. I'm proud of you KEEP NOT DOING IT!

Stress? This can sometimes bring on the psychological urge.
