dpernell You can distract yourself through the craves, you awakened the sleeping beast when you smoked and now it thinks it has a chance. Show it AND yourself that it doesn't. One step at a time, baby steps when you have to take them. Thinking about smoking all the time and fighting the craves is a recipe for disaster...if you prepared for your quit, you should have a list of triggers and you should have a list of things to do INSTEAD of smoking! Remember why you want to quit, think of how you CAN quit and you can take control of your own life without daily struggles. Smoking will not do anything FOR you, but it sure will do lots TO you. No crave ever killed a person but no one can say that about smoking. Smoking does NOT relieve depression, pain, anxiety, anger, or any other uncomfortable emotion that your addiction has told you it will do. It LIES!
