congratulations- you're doing GREAT!
As you've noticed the first four days were the most intense. Very smart of you to use no NRT.
Everytime the craving comes up remind yourself how grateful you are you're no longer smoking.
According to "The easy way to quit smoking" by Allan Carr it usaully takes three weeks for folks to stop thinking about smoking so often. However don't wait for three weeks as nothing magicly happens and you'll set yourself up for dissapointment if you wait for that special date. Start enjoying your new smoke free life now. Make peace withthe fact your still having cravings. Accept them as natural to your situation and know that it will get better.Health Question & Answer
