Hi @vicky_k Glad you've made the decision to quit again. When I first quit, I thought about smoking a lot. I think that's a part of quitting. What works is finding distractions to ride out a crave. There's lot of things you can do. I would go for frequent short walks, deep breathing, video games, spend time with my dog, listen to music, doing work around the house (inside and out) and being on the Ex. Those thoughts will lesson, but it takes time. Smoking involved every aspect of our lives, good or bad. Life is going to happen whether we smoke or not. As the new associations become a new way of life, so will the thoughts of smoking decrease.
In the morning I would drink my coffee on the porch while I watched the dog. I started drinking my coffee while on the Ex. Other times when I took the dog out and she laid in the yard, I'd take my phone and play video games. Be creative and find what works for you.
