Karen,
What you are feeling is VERY normal. It takes about three days for the nicotine to clear your system. After the third day, I felt significant relief. I also could not get the thought of cigarettes out of my head. It will get better very soon. It just takes time.
In the mean time, take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of fluids. Gum, hard candy, and drinking with a straw may give you some relief. Hold on tight, you CAN do this.
