Huge welcome to our community dwade - congratulations on over 10 months smoke free, that is great :)

What you are experiencing is perfectly normal and known as the 'complacency cravings' as you are comfortable and confident in your journey, its Mr Nico last attempts to get you back so you need to be strong and ready to attack.

Below is a pinned post worth a read if not already done so:

Keep strong, I found when I get the urge I trie not to relate that urge with cigarettes, I’ve been nearly 5 mths quit now, I’m still on strong patches but it’s way better than smoking especially when I’ve smoked for 40 years and now have emphasemia.
