Congrats on Day 6! That's major. Almost a solid week into this, keep it going. I totally remember that feeling that I was missing something in the early days. I had to be inventive with new ways to satisfy some of those needs (like the need to get a break or a "treat" at work became taking a few minutes to fiddle on my phone or go outside for some deep breathing with my eyes closed), and for other times I just kind of had to buckle down and muscle through until I stopped feeling like I "needed" something at those times (driving, meal times, etc). I felt like my body got used to it pretty quickly, and after dismissing those cues several times in a row they began to subside more rapidly than I expected. Driving especially surprised me - I only had to work on dismissing smoking urges for a week or two before my brain got the message and stopped suggesting that I smoke every time I got behind the wheel. I found it really helpful to post here frequently during the early weeks (and side bonus, it inspires others who want to quit to read along with your quit). I just reached 6 months and still find it helpful to check in here regularly, since I am occasionally (rarely) surprised by an urge to smoke that I need some support around. Coming here is great for accountability, and I learned so much (and distracted myself as needed during early cravings!) from reading through the archives.
