former smokers, do you ever have random moments months or years later where you just get textbook "cravings" symptoms? (self.asklemmy)

I'm so fucking irritable right now, every little thing is annoying me and my chest is tight, I keep clenching my teeth. I'm very familiar with these things, these are how my body is telling me "go smoke a ciggy"

Problem is, I haven't done that for a year and a half. I've had this happen before, sometimes years on into my quittings, its always random and it's always insufferable, like I'm a former psychonaut who accidentally cracked his spine 20 years later. Does this happen to anyone else out there? Any tips? I had a glass of wine but it didn't help take the edge off much

I haven't smoked in 10+ maybe 15+ years, can't really remember.

I still want a cigarette.

Feel exactly this... Sometimes you just still want one randomly. But 99.999% of the time do not think about it at all anymore

I've never done any drug or experience as remotely addicting as nicotine.
