The nicotine addiction is in the part of your brain that would normally give you rewards for taking care of yourself. Eat some food - reward for taking care of hungry. In from the rain - reward for not being wet. Get some sleep - reward for not being tired. Nicotine hijacks this part of your brain so it mostly functions like: Smoke cigarette - reward no panic inducing adrenaline dump. You are retraining your brain to work properly. It's a healing process, so it takes time and effort. You'll see plenty of posts that discuss rewarding yourself often early in a quit to correct what nicotine has messed up.
