Mornings are the hardest for me

Yesterday was my first day not smoking. I've tried to quit before, but using all my energy to fight cravings all morning is so hard, I usually gave in and had a cigarette. Yesterday I dove into work and got through it. Today I am really struggling. I know it will get easier, but being rational of course isn't helpful right now. So I'm trying one minute at a time, trying to find distractions, trying to focus on work, spending some time on this site, hugging my kitties... Yesterday I was impressed because after the morning hours, I only had a few cravings that went away quickly. And I wasn't craving for the first 30 minutes or so this morning. I thought, maybe I'm lucky. But no. I'm just someone who struggles more in the morning.
