Physical nicotine withdrawal peaks in the first 1–3 days and largely fades over 2–4 weeks. Cravings become less frequent and less intense over time, though occasional urges can pop up for a while — usually tied to a trigger or habit, not chemistry.
The key reframe: an individual craving is short (about 60–90 seconds), even early on. Withdrawal feels long because the cravings are frequent at first — not because any single one lasts. Get through the waves and the frequency drops fast.
StopMe gives you something to do for those 60 seconds so the frequent early cravings don't win.
