Quit Day 37, Sporting event trigger

I've been trucking right along, and last night a baseball team I follow won and they will go to the World Series.  After the game, that I watched from home, and during the post celebration I got this strong urge to smoke  Very strong, and I had to talk myself down.  I began to realize that indulging in nicotine is something I had done regularly and in particular when it comes to sporting events.  Nicotine had always been my go-to.  Choose nicotine when the score is tight, when the team is down some runs, or when the team is up some runs, or when they win/lose.  Always been nicotine, for the last 25 years.  So, last night, I'm hoping that is a trigger that I am overcoming.  That came out of the blue, on Day 37.
