1) A cigarette cannot help you in a given situation. It only means you have smoked on top of the situation.
2) Craves are caused by smoking, not relieved by them. You never had a crave before you smoked your 1st ciggy. The only way to be free of craving is to not take nicotine for a period of time.
Keep it going, read and keep yourself busy.... you're doing great!
Enjoy your walk, and enjoy it more because it's smoke-free.
Well done for getting through your first day. One day at a time, an hour or even minute at a time if need be, and you can kick this addiction.
Yes, the craves will come. Often when a familiar occurence triggers them, and it's something you may well be prepared for. But they're sneaky beggars too, and will creep up on you when you were'nt expecting them. Either way, they don't last long. And each time you beat one you'll be stronger and better prepared for the next.
Well done you got to day 2 that's brilliant. It will all feel much better the longer you are off them. It's good the read about the addiction it helps to understand what is happening to you. A good site to use is whyquit.com it's full of stories and explanations.
