Getting through a craving

[Thyme]

Last night my husband was in the garage and I went out there to ask him a question. In the beginning of my quit I was incredibly firm about not putting myself in situations where I could see or smell cigarettes. Anyway, yesterday I went out there and he was smoking a cigarette. It smelled really good to me. I got out of there and went back inside. I read my journal from my last night smoking and what it was really like, which took away my desire. But this morning I woke up with a craving. Not a hard core physical craving like I had when first quitting, but just kind of remembering waking up and smoking a cigarette with my coffee and how much I used to enjoy that and bounce out of bed in the morning. I drank some water and took a lozenge and read my reasons for quitting and got on the ex and read some blogs and took some deep breaths and those feelings have passed. All the tools I have learned here! But I was surprised to be having a craving/having those thoughts because I’ve pretty much felt like I’m over smoking for a while.
