I stopped smoking on January 66th. Cold turkey. So proud.
Welcome to our community!
Congratulations on your 30 day quit. You should be VERY proud.
It's never too late to educate yourself on what nicotine does to your body and mind. To that end, I highly recommend Allen Carr's “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.” This is an easy and entertaining read. Here is a link to a free PDF version of it:

As well, read the sections on this site, and read the blogs, responses and pages of folks you think might be helpful. You might visit whyquit.com and quitsmokingonline.com for the good information contained there.
The idea is to change up your routines so the smoking associations are reduced. Drink your coffee with your OTHER hand. If you always had that first smoke with your coffee, try putting your tennies on right out of bed, going for a quick walk, then taking your shower and THEN your coffee! Rearrange the furniture in the areas you used to smoke so the view is different.
Stay close to us here and ask questions when you have them and for support when you need it. We will be with you every step of the way!

Congratulations, every day of freedom is another day WON and you have come to a great place for support and education and those are the two best things you can ask for. I agree with Strudel, stick around, read, pay attention to the journeys of other EXers, you can learn how they manage things in their lives, you can celebrate anniversaries with them and support them when they need it and remember, they will do the same for you.
Welcome to EX.
