Thank you, Minnie Mouse. I think "amen" pretty much covers everything you said! I haven't considered any mantras, but that could be very helpful. I appreciate your thoughts and advice!

@c9jane29, thanks for your advice. You're absolutely right, it's the romantic memory, more than anything, that's triggering me here... that stinking thinking. Lol. I'm going to stay strong and get through and past it.

Friends, I am really struggling here. I've been "dreaming" about smoking again lately, but it's particularly bad right now. I'm in the middle of a camping trip with my kids. The last time I was here, 2 years ago, I had just started smoking again and was really enjoying the nicotine buzz, as well as the "thrill" of sneaking in a cigarette here and there. Today this place is triggering me so hard. I keep thinking to myself how nice it would be to taste a cigarette again... just allow myself one, as an exception, as a "treat." My rational mind knows if I do have a smoke it could very well lead to the next one. I would ruin my 3 month quit... it would be a damn shame. But despite that, the urge is so strong right now... I don't think anyone could say anything in response to this that I don't already know, but it helps somewhat to write about what I'm going through here. I'm hanging on.
