So sorry you are having another wave of cravings @Pilgrim. As @QuittingGirl said, it’s not physical at this point - it’s psychological. Addict mind lurks in the tall grass, hoping to catch us unawares. But you don’t need to give in! You’ve built all kinds of strong quitting muscles now. You know like @Minnie Mouse says that cravings are not commands. They’re just noise. And your quit is too precious to throw away. So let those cravings drift on by, like a bad smell that the wind blows away. Going for a run is a great idea, as is staying connected to this forum. NOPE!

Smoking thoughts are just that ... thoughts ... not a command to yourself to smoke. Tell yourself NO and do whatever it takes to move past them. I agree with the suggestion to acknowledge them. I used to say "Oh, Hello there!" to mine and then laugh/chuckle out loud at them. I also found the three's to be a trigger and with you coming up on your 3-month anniversary it makes sense. Forewarned is forearmed. Such thoughts/memories/triggers will get less and less with time and patience if you just don't smoke. NOPE. Not One Puff Ever. Don't give in to them. Never another Day One! (You can borrow my bamm bamm bat. lol)

Congrats @GonSo! Yeah, those cravings can still sneak up on us. But they no longer hold the power to derail your awesome quit!! Keep up the great quitting work… and fostering work, too. Those babies look small enough to need round the clock feedings!
-
Well done @SD2026! You’re doing GREAT and I have no doubt that we’ll see you on the Lido Deck shortly. Keep on rockin’ your awesome quit!!
