As spring and summer rolls in I find New triggers.

Well So far it has been a month and a half I believe smoke free. I have been finding new triggers though. I realized that the warm weather is making me crave for a cigarette more and more. When I drive home and I get tired, and the evening sun beats down onto my face. I just want to have the nasty thing in my hand. I know I will not go back to it, but I have to admit these have been the most powerful ravings I have had yet.

I just breath deeply, and roll down my window so I can smell the fresh air. I also have been using these menthol nose strips they really help with the bigger cravings. Just a random thought, and was letting everyone know I am still sticking with the quit, and have not had a miss step along the way!

Hey Andrew....I had the same feeling one day last week on my way home from work when the weather here got warm. It passed but it was a jolt to feel that. I just convinced myself to get on with living and try to stop missing the stupid thing.

I definitely know how you feel. We don't smoke in the house, so every time I step outside, and I don't smoke, it feels like something is missing. Now that the weather is getting better, I go outside a lot and enjoy the refreshing feeling of not seeing 4 feet of snow. But like you said, the warmer it gets, the more reason to have that missing feeling.
The other 2 people in my house still smoke, so there are butts right by the door in the ashtray.
