The 3 second urges will continue but will happen less often.
Stay vigilant, even though you don't think so, you've already knocked it. Now start thinking of something else  :cheers:

It slowly gets easier.  About day 10 I was tinkering with something out in the garage and out of the blue damn near had a panic attack.  It passed in a few minutes and has gradually gotten easier.  Keep your brain and hands busy.  When that urge hits, take a few deep breaths and find something to occupy your mind.

I quit 32 years ago. Best thing I ever did. If you have gone 2 weeks you have it made, just don't do something stupid like " Oh I will just have one here while I drink this beer" If you do you can start all over again.

Hang in there, I quit cold turkey in 2009.
haven't even entertained the idea of smoking since then.
sleep better, eat better, FISH better, dive better,
I will NEVER smoke again.

Had to go back to the start of this thread ...... :scratch:
Memory ain't what it used to be :roll:

Anyways it looks like I be going on day 42 ....or so :oops:

Almost had a setback in Hawaii tho
Sitting on our balcony one night  I decided I deserved a cigar .....
I have always been a sucker for a fine cigar
I Wandered down to the gift shop .....
Low and behold  :D  they where closed....
They had a sign in the window stating they would be back in 10 minutes..... :shock:
When I saw that sign in the window I pretty much come to the conclusion .....

Some one......
besides my family .....
is telling me .....
give it up :salut:

From a fellow quiter stay away at least a year. It has been 8 years since I quit and it took a year before all of the dreams, urges, smells and desires finally left.

Each day eas better then the previous but once I hit the 1yr mark all gone.

Good luck.

Don't know you, but I'm with you brother. My dad was a 1.5 to 2 pack a day smoker for almost 65 years. Decided to quit cold turkey. Went great, he didn't even miss it. Lucky bastage. I have been a 1+ can a day dipper for 40 years and cannot make it past 3 hours. Maybe this will help motivate me.

Way to go Bill!! :salut:  :cheers:

Johnny,

I'm a dipper too. It is a bad addiction. It delivers seven times the nicotine of a cigarette...faster.

Congrats!

I too am a former smoker.  I quit about 8 years ago.  There are times when I still want one but the urges get easier to handle.  I found a lot of help from an online community called QUITNET.  Do a google search, lots of great people there.
