I once read an article or a post about dealing with these common triggers -- driving, eating, waking up, etc. The article said that through habit, we have trained our subconscience to act as our Personal Assistant. Our PA runs around making sure we remember to brush our teeth, look in the rearview mirror occasionally, drink water, and so on. Our Personal Assistant also is very much on the job reminding us to smoke when we wake up, after we eat, when we get in the car, when we talk on the phone. When we quit smoking, our PA is still on the job trying to remind us to smoke! It's like the Personal Assistant didn't get the memo! After a few times of NOT smoking when we drive, the Personal Assistant finally gets the point. It gives up and goes on about reminding us of other things we need to do. So just keep prompting that Personal Assistant -- it will eventually get it!
