I try to busy myself and my mind so i'm not thinking about cigarettes and I guess I do a pretty good job at it because then I subconsciencly I say to myself,..."let me smoke a cigarette", then BOOM, it hits me, I quit smoking. wtf?!! ugh!! But then I pull myself together and continue keeping busy.

I tell myself when I have a big craving that I'm on my way to being healthier and I can breath so much better. If I take a puff then thats it, I have to start the whole process again.

Perfect, Hopless! Keep distracting yourself with positive thoughts and activities. That's an excellent way to cope with the craves. Before you know it, the urge will have passed!
