Hi Alison! Thanks for the info. Glad to know my brain is repairing. It needs all the repairing it can get.
My triggers are mostly social. Having a beer is a HUGE trigger. It took me a few weeks to have a drink just because I knew I would take one sip and jones for a cig. I still have some friends that smoke, and when we are together I am used to the routine of going outside to light up with them so that is also hard. And then of course there is stress. I love how I still pull the "I need a cigarette" card whenever any dramatic event occurs, as if it's going to make me feel better.
So I am re-learning while apparently repairing. Yay for me.
