Vent away @Keith. We're always here to listen. Although we can't do it for you, sometimes just speaking with others that have been through similar showdowns with our addiction soon after we've quit is helpful, if only to realize you aren't alone and to get some heartfelt support from others. Hang in there buddy, I promise it will be worth it down the road. Plus you'll be proud as punch that you succeeded!

In that you are thinking about those things @SD2026 demonstrates you have already dealt with them mentally so you won't be hit with an "out of the blue" craving. You'll have no problem getting past those issues and when you've faced them once, they will never be an issue again. All part of that 1st year quitting

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying about changing your lifestyle @Keith. What I meant is learning what to do with all that time you spent smoking. You now have to fill those hours each day with something productive rather than just going for a smoke. That requires some degree of change in your daily lifestyle. Also, dealing with seasonal and other smoking triggers you may not expect after being quit for a while. I quit in late January and yet in mid April, the first lawn cutting of the year, I got acraving for a smoke because that was my reward for having finished cutting the grass in years past. I found it interesting how some of these trivial things in our life were wired to having a smoke, at least in our brain. It takes time to get through all that but it's certainly doable, especially after the early quit withdrawal is pretty much over.
