The first week is the hardest. After that you can say to yourself...."come on...you've made it a week...it's all in your head now". Find something to do during those "trigger" times. Like I always wanted to smoke when on the phone so I got an ear bud and started talking on the phone while cutting fabric or something. I always smoked after meals and then cleaned the dishes so I started cleaning the dishes right after I ate. The craving is only a few seconds so find ANYTHING to get your mind off of it til the next one. As time goes on, each craving will be shorter and they will get further and further apart. Good luck!!
