This is both a warning to be on guard as well as a question that maybe some of you long timers can answer for me.
Today while I was doing some billing, I had to do some computer monkeying around, downloading, backing up, etc, which of course never goes completely smoothly, as well as my usual monthly stuff. So, the monthly stuff I have done 9 times since quitting, the #%^$% computer stuff, not so often. In the midst of it...WHAM!!!! a strong urge. Of course I didn't smoke, just noted that oh yes, in the past I would have taken a smoke break when things weren't going right, and as I completed each part of the billing stuff.
So, the warning is, those triggers can keep hitting unexpectedly, and the question is, Do any of you have any tips for either getting rid of those occasional triggers, or any rough idea of how many times it takes to break down an old smoking association with these types of triggers?
You know what I mean?
