Platinum,
First off, your really off to a great start with your quit. Your distractions are perfect. Keep up the great work.
I felt the same way as you do in the beginning of the quit. How am I going to live my life always thinking about cigs. But my reasons for quitting and wanting to be smoke free kept moving me forward, day by day....until....you don't think about them every day in a way that is longing or missing. You get to the point where you are so proud of yourself for coming so far (this can happen even in week 2) that you don't want to blow it, so you keep moving forward...and before you know it, you find a happy place with your quit. Your happy your smoke free. Do you still miss them and wish you could smoke....maybe...maybe not. It just depends, but what's important is to remember that smoking kills. Your missing a killer not a long lost friend...so go ahead and grieve the killer, then keep distracting.
And by the way...I LOVE my front porch and was my hangout every day where I would drink coffee, and smoke and watch the deer cross and the snow fall and the storms roll in. When your ready...go out there with your coffee...sit and watch the snow fall...and actually smell the snow and the winter crispness....you can sit out there and relax...without the cig. I Love it!!!!!
