Brent just handed you a little secret:

change the routine
[/quote][/color]
In the past, when you were a smoker, what did you do? Did you sit there at the table and light up? If so, then don't sit there. Get up, go outside, take a little walk, take deep breaths. If that's what you did after dinner before -- you went outside to smoke -- then do something else. Get up, clear the table, make yourself busy. It will only take a few times to reprogram your brain that you don't smoke after eating.
Same is true of coffee. Change your cup, change where you sit when you drink it, change it from black to cream, change from coffee to tea. Hopefully, you won't have to give it up entirely, but you might if it threatens your quit. And you should cut back anyway, because the effect of caffiene is heightened in the early days of your quit.
Congratulations on getting through Day 1. Now just do it again!!!
