I have been nicotine free now for little over a months, Stopped smoking 10th of November after 13 years (I am 26) and still to this day I think about cigarettes and i can even wake up in the middle of the night just dying to have one..
How long will this go on - will it be like this forever?any advice or inputs on the subject?

Just keep at it, one day at a time. Remember, giving in to that first craving is what gets you: one puff leads to a pack a day!!
The cravings last for a while, but get a lot less intense and easier to deal with as time goes on. Just keep doing what you have been to ward them off. Deep breathing, drink water, delay, distract yourself... It's all mental at this point.
After 4 years I still have an occasional craving- but you have to realize that after a period of time the cravings are just crazy thoughts, and you can easily dismiss them. Don't be discouraged- You are doing great, and you don't want to give up now!!

It's a great site for help with the "mental" aspects of quitting. And it's free.
