Hello Nascarfan
Glad to see you posted about this pesky thing. Those craves, smoking thoughts that hit far into the quit can be a surprise and a bother. My experience they come and go. I am more able to focus my energy on what I want and the life I want to live, free of smoking.
So long story short. Refocus your attention, notice what is going on around and with you that these urges might occur. If you feel you are lacking something, give yourself what you actually need. For me those pesky smoking thoughts generally have to do with HALT: Hungry Angry Tired and Lonely or I am bored, fits for me on the angry scale. So a reward might be due. A change in some routine might be in order.
Best to know and trust that the thoughts do leave and they are not nearly so consuming as they were at the beginning. Life changes and for me my quit became more doable as time moved and I began to trust myself bit by bit.
Stay Strong - Thanks for your honesty.
Ciao
Phillip :)
