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.

OMG, that is the part I crave too... I take a hot shower and do deep breathing in the steam and it will help somewhat...

ARGH!!! I understand completely and just crave the feel of it! Good luck in whatever you find to control it!

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.

It has been interesting. Gramy perfect for the first round. Now we are into round two. In round two, all wins will be worth 4 points .... so there are a lot of points to gain... 16 to be exact. There are no Bonus Games in the playoffs or Super Bowl. So choose wisely. Some games seem like a piece of cake and will bring surprises and some seem like tough picks and will suprise you...
