Reciprocity

Two things: - seasonal triggers persist for a full year. Not all the time but occasionally as the seasons change and you start doing you haven't done yet as a non-smoker. That's why it's recommended that you hang in here for a full year so you have somewhere to voice what's happening to you. - You are developing new daily routines and methods of coping with life's issues without cigarettes. You need to repeat these new daily routines and coping methods over and over again before your brain doesn't automatically remind you that you should be having a smoke. It's a long, boring process but it WILL work for you! Both of you, @Linda & @AceWhite are largely over the really tough daily grind of quitting.
