i quit somking i'm on day two. will this feeling go away. i feel like haveing one then sometimes i don't

Answer 1

The feeling never entirely goes away. What occurs is that the frequency of the feeling becomes further and further. apart. Something always seems to trigger the hunger to light up, a social setting, after dinner etc. The secret is to stay strong and to have the will to resist the temptation. The first week is the most difficult, after which it becomes easier. Without sounding like a reformed whore preaching the virtues of chastity, I quit cold turkey after having smoked for 31 years. That was 20 years ago, without a relapse.

Answer 2

Eventually it will go away (the cravings) but each day you go without having a smoke, it fades a little bit more and a little bit more..so reward yourself for trying to quit in the first place..with some ice cream or a fruit parfait! Congratulations!! You're on day #2! that's HUGE! Some things you can do to help yourself are: keep a glass of ice water handy at all times and stock up on sugarless hard candy or gum to help with those cravings for something in your mouth. The first week or two, you may have trouble sleeping or be bothered by constipation or gas. Cut out caffeine in the afternoon and evening and eat more raw fruits and vegetables and high-fiber cereals. Irritability and tiredness can last two to four weeks. Don't push yourself too hard at this stage. Take naps if you can. You'll feel SO much better once the nicotine has left your body. The cravings are the worst during the first 3 days, so distract yourself! You might picture the urge as a giant wave..if you can surf along with it and keep your balance, it will ebb away in a few minutes. Happy quitting, hope I helped!

Answer 3

Good for you on quitting. :) Yea, the feeling will go away. When I quit, I wanted to do it and had it set in my mind that I was going to. There was no going back for me, I was done. So it was a bit easer. In the midst of a craving, you might want to sit back and remind yourself why you're doing it. Concrete reasons. I did it because I was tired of the bad chest colds and not being able to breathe all the time (I have a touch of asthma on top of smoking). Also, find something else to do. I knew a gal who sucked on spoons (something about the stainless steel). My mom quit by chewing on straws. When I quit, I sucked on lollipops. I got the ice cream flavored ones. Every time I used to smoke, like especially after meals, I'd suck on one. For months I never went without suckers. My husband took up chewing gum. Find something else to do and when you get a craving, don't sit there and dwell on it, get up and DO something to take your mind off of it.

Answer 4

Since your on your second day over cigarette soberiety (which is great!)... that feeling (the crave to light one) is inevitable, since your body is conditioned to having it constantly. Usually, a firm quitter will experience this intense craving for the next couple of weeks after quitting. eventually, the cravings will lessen and sooner you'll be out of the habit.
Good luck!

Answer 5

it takes about 10 to 14 days for the worst cravings to go away, after that you'll be physically feeling so much better the cravings will fade away quickly.

Answer 8

Good for you on quiting, I've heard that some people are pre-disposed to nicatine addiction. I you're in for a long road ahead, good luck

Answer 9

I think you're just going through withdrawal. It should eventually go away. If you haven't done so already, throw away any cigarettes you still have...it'll make it easier to quit.
