I have a very strong craving right now and in general. One way I deal with it is either by working out or jacking off.

Any other tips how to kill the craving? I feel like punching myself in the chest lol.

eat carbs. Cigarettes keep your blood sugar high.

When I quit, the 2nd and 3rd week were by far the hardest. From there it was all running downhill.

Can only confirm that. Barrell through, what helped me a bit was chewing gum.

You're simply addicted to the dopamine receptors. Jacking off is releasing the same nero transmitter as smoking so you're basically "dealing" with this by using the same chemical in your brain haha.

Eating carbs also release the dopamine. The only way to deal with this is to not do anything to release the dopamine and make your brain get use to the low dosage of dopamine release.

In other word, exercise and go read books.

Woot woot, its gone. Gym definitely helps.

Congrats man. Keep it up, and keep us updated!

This week has been tough. Surviving on pure willpower.

Good luck. I quit recently myself back in april. Cold Turkey as well. I would highly recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Easy-Way-Stop-Smok...232&sr=1-1

I'm not sure why it works but it does. 4.5 stars in 745 reviews...

Either way good luck, I highly recommend continuing; my life is significantly better without cigarettes. I know you probably don't believe it now, but soon you will see. Just keep at it.
