Hi, Sunflower. Congratulations on 22 days quit. Three weeks is quite an accomplishment. :)
I'm not sure how you define "late in the quit". When I was at your point 100 days was late into a quit, lol. There is a period between 80 and 120 days that seem to be a rough spot for most quitters. We tend to refer to this as a 100-day hump, or similar. I don't know why this happens, but it seems to affect everyone to some degree. For some it's like hell week all over again, or worse. For others it's just an annoying day, or so. For me it was about 3 days of the worst craves of my quit. I quit using Wellbutrin; no NRT.
It seems some others are having some difficulty around 150 - 180 days, also. This may a delayed 100-day hump, or it may be something entirely separate. Again, I don't know.
One thing to never forget, Sunflower, is that we are all addicts. This addiction addiction will be with us for life and the potential for getting hit by a crave will always be there. All that is required is an appropriate trigger. My boss got hit with a killer crave after being quit for about 11 years. Lasted a few hours, and then it was gone. He hasn't a clue what set it off.
The price of freedom (from tobacco) is eternal vigalence.
