I am at 1 month today and have been having trouble the past few days with cravings. What I am craving is the inhalation, the feeling in my lungs. i have tried deep breathing and that doesn't work. Any ideas for this weird craving????

I had this same problem- and someone recommended aromatherapy to me and it helped. Put some in a cloth and inhale it- deep breaths- especially if you use a favorite aroma- its quite nice- you could also try a nice candle- light it- look at it- inhale the sacent while you deep breath. If all else fails- I spray my fav. perfume on my pillow and lie down and relax breathing it in.

I totally had that too! For me, I exercised until I was panting and I don't know if it distracted me or what, but it worked! Or maybe i was just too tired to think about smoking.. LOL!

okay, someone suggested this to me the last time i tried to quit, take a straw and suck air thru it like you would have if you were inhaling smoke from a cigarette. it helped me but i like the aromatherapy a lot more.

I found exercise as my #1 crave cutter. I also always have lots of sugar free candy around. It is important to keep a good taste in your mouth as much as you can. Licorice and cinammon seem to work the best.

I've never actually eaten it myself. But it occures to me that we could probably solve world hunger if every spam post was a can of food...(...or maybe not...I've looked at it, and just have never been able to bring myself to try it.)
