Congrats~that's really awesome! Yup I quit on March 26th! The best decision I ever made without a doubt, but you know I too still have those early morning craves. I just try my hardest to switch my mindset right away. I get up early enough to come to pc to get on here first thing: that way my hands are buisy and my mind is steady focusing on my mileage. You can do it!

Mornings have been kinda bad for me too but walking around

has gotten me through :)

Ginette, 25 days is great. Those are the hardest ones. You sure don't want to have to do them over. That is what kept me from smoking for the first 6 months. I was afraid if I lost them I would not be able to get them again. Hang on. It gets sooo much better.

Congrats on the 25 days. loads of self talk.. and keep repeating
N O P E. I am 65 days.. and I get little urges that pop up..
I try to think of them as mosquitoes and i swat them with a fly swatter, still keeping my bottle of water and a pocket full of mints or cough drops. stay strong.. sometimes its one hour, one day at a time..

Congrats on 25 days smoke free!!! I also craves early in the morning. I would get up and walk around and get a cold glass of water. Usually that would calm the crave. Hang in there, it does get better...
