Hi Robert,
 
CONGRATULATIONS on having lived your first three nicotine free months!! I hope you are really proud of yourself and you also celebrate this day with something special.
 
Sorry, I can't tell you at which point in time it will get easier for you as really Every quit and "Everyone is different. What I can tell you is that "No, you will not always have cravings - comfort will come for you, too.
 
Just some questions: have you got any idea why you are thinking about cigarettes or smoking as much as ever? Are you missing nicotine? Are you thinking about your life as a non-smoking person, which, of course, will also lead you back to comparisons with what your life was like as a practising addict. Are you thinking about the many positive changes you will no doubt have experienced by now?  Have you tried replacing the word "cigarette" with "nicotine ? Did you try to Think about something else?
 
You might not think it at the moment, but you are doing great, Robert. 3 months of the beginning of your nicotine free life!!!
 
Wishing you a great nicotine free future.
