How long is it normal to crave cigarettes after quitting smoking? It's been over 2 years now and I'm going through an intense wave of nicotine desire. I suppose I don't care about the tar or the nicotine, I miss smoking. The feel of menthol smoke biting the lungs on a crisp fall(?) morning. The smell of fresh lit cigarette when you just touch a lit wooden match to the end before you even have a chance to draw in. The spicy taste of dark cherry tobacco smoke in the evenings beside a fire, rolling the thick pipe smike back and forth across my tongue. When I quit I tried exercise, food, reading, even chopping wood to help quit, unfortunately for me drinking worked the best, I put more weight on from the 6-10 beers per day than I would have by eating a donut every time i had a craving.
Now that I have my drinking back under control- (only martini's please, and keep them cold and plentiful) my weight is starting to drop and my clothes fit again.
Trying to be in shape, be healthy is so against every one of my urges. I was made to defile myself, I'm good at it.
I want to eat big greasy strips of roast pig with my hands, drink flagons of dark rich beer until I'm full then switch to some sort of distilled liquor to help me go to sleep, the whole time puffing away on a smorgasbord of nature, stripping down and rutting like animals, no consequence, no future, just fulfilling the desire for more, more of everything.
