Cigarettes on my mind

I have been quit from cigarettes for 49 days so far and everyday I think about smoking. Strangely enough, in the beginning of my journey, I wasn’t consumed with these thoughts and urges as much as I am now. Also, as ridiculous as this may sound, I have actually dreamt about smoking. 
I have been able to abstain from smoking, thus far, but I’m feeling a little anxious that I’m getting closer to giving in to my urge’s rather than staying quit. 
Sometimes I find myself reaching for my pack of cigarettes which are no longer there on the kitchen counter; having been replaced with a pack of gum instead. At times the gum doesn’t cut it for me so I reach for snacks instead. 
I’ve come this far and I don’t want to quit becoming an X.
Has or is anyone experiencing what I am going through?  What did you do to deal with these thoughts and urges.
