<h2>The cravings that still surprised Priya</h2>
<p>Priya had made progress, but occasional cravings still appeared in certain situations. They were not constant, but they were specific: long errands, stressful calls, and social moments where she used to smoke.</p>
<p>She did not feel like she was starting over. She wanted something she could keep nearby for the moments that tested her routine.</p>
<h2>Why lozenges fit her maintenance stage</h2>
<p>Priya compared lozenges because she wanted something discreet and easy to keep in different places. She did not want to chew gum during calls, and she wanted an option that felt low-profile.</p>
<p>After reviewing product labels and strength options, she compared lower-dose lozenges that fit her maintenance routine.</p>
<h2>The keep-on-hand system</h2>
<p>Priya placed lozenges in three places: her bag, her desk drawer, and the entryway table. The goal was not to think about cravings all day. The goal was to be prepared if one appeared.</p>
<p>She also noticed that having support nearby reduced the feeling of panic when a craving showed up unexpectedly.</p>
<h2>What changed over time</h2>
<p>Her maintenance routine became less about fighting every craving and more about staying ready. The lozenges were part of a preparation system, not a sign that she was going backward.</p>
<h2>What Priya would tell someone in maintenance</h2>
<p>Her advice is to treat preparation as progress. If you know certain moments still test you, keep support where those moments actually happen.</p>
