Day 2 almost over and craving

Sorry, I'm confused still how all this works. 

Today is day 2, I have had a pretty decent day with minimal cravings, and when they have hit a sucker or a cinnamon toothpick has helped greatly. My day started out rough, because I over slept and I need my time to sit and drink my coffee and read here on EX first thing to wake up my brain, but I didn't get much of that. 

I have figured out that my morning coffee doesn't trigger much cravings, or strong ones anyway, maybe because I now have the EX community in the morning. 

BUT... I usually have a cup of coffee in the evening time, and this triggers the worst cravings I think. So now I will have to this coffee off the table now and I'm sad about that.

But I'm going to jump in the shower, and get this crave under control, I WILL NOT SMOKE! 

But boy can I feel it in my stomach and chest. I think I am romanticizing it.

I've been smoking since I was 13, and I am going to be 42 in a few days. I have had 2 quits that lasted 11 months. I have been trying to quit again now for over a month. I would get 4 days smoke free, then smoke for a couple then get 4 more days ect... I'm bipolar, with an anxiety disorder and ptsd. I'm also an alcohlic. I go to a group for dual diagnosis for these, as well as AA meetings. I also see a therapist and a psychiatrist regularly.
