Hello Harrow,
Congrats on your 4 days!!
I think depending upon what day you asked me, I would give different answers. Craves can just come out of nowhere. Since I have quit smoking, I find the crave times to be different than my old smoking times. Believe me, I had a smoke schedule because I could only smoke at certain times of the day due to kids, work, commute, activities, etc.
Being busy is good for me. When I first quit I had a week off of work and was SO worried about staying home and having down time -(being home was harder for me). Somehow I managed to make a list everyday of what I would do instead of smoke and I managed it well.
I kept busy but also took quiet time to review my quit strategy and not so much meditate but focus on what my feelings were and how to improve myself physically - (vitamins, exercise and meal planning).
You will find what works for you Harrow, and whether it's busy or relaxing, you will enjoy the new non-smoking you!
