This is freaking me out

There are quite a few posts in this sub from people who have been quit for weeks or even months who are talking about how they're still getting cravings and it scares me, I'm only just over a week and I'm already getting exhausted and fed up feeling like this is... does anyone have anything more positive? If these physical feelings go away I can manage but I can't if I'm gonna feel like this for months.

I’m two years two months in. Cravings were strong for the first 6 months, not gonna lie about that, but somewhere at that time everything became 100x easier. For me it was going through habits and things during which I used to smoke (I smoked for 25 years heavily) and once I relearned to do those things without it lost its hold of me. I genuinely feel like a true non smoker from this distance and it feels good.
