Yes Juan, the jones does go away, at least the physical craving does. The psychological craving does take a bit longer and might require a bit of cognitive reframing. When I quit, the cravings got weaker and weaker after a month. By the time two months had gone by I knew it was going better all the time. This is where some some inner work has to be done to deal with the absence of something that gave some pleasure and comfort comes in.
The comfort and pleasure were ultimately a lie, and I had to remember that. Also the the cravings are nothing more than a false appetite, nothing real is being threatened by not smoking although the mind would have us believe so.
Once when the cravings were bad I opened myself up to them, instead of resisting the craving I allowed myself to feel them as fully as I could.
"Go ahead do your worst!" I cried inwardly " I know who you are you son of a bitch and you are nothing!"
Sound dramatic? Yeah I guess, but by looking at my craving head on, and allowing myself to feel it fully without turning aside I found that they disappear like the mist they are made of.
I also wrote about it too. In a paper I thought of as my "first step" work. Of course this might not be for you, since it is a twelve step thing.
Then again, these methods did help me stop using drugs and alcohol too.
