Candi, we used to call week two Heck week (week one being Hell week) where cravings can come out of nowhere to hit you.
So hold tight, you will get through it, and gradually it gets easier.
It is always sad (and a bit scary) when you see others lose a long term quit. But for the most part that is due to one of two reasons:
1) The person hits a very stressful time and thinks that smoking will "help" - by the time that they realise it was no help whatsoever, they are hooked in again.
or
2) They believe that after a period of being quit that "just one" won't hurt - that re-awakens the nicotine addiction. Unless drastic action is taken there will be "just one more" again and again until fairly quickly the quit is lost.
You must acknowledge the fact that you are a nicotine addict, that for you there can never be "just one" and make NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) your watchword.
But I do promise if you stick with it, that there will come a day when if you do ever think about smoking, it will be with gratitude that you are free of the tyranny of being a smoker.
