When you quit smoking, for a couple of months it is going to always occupy your mind. Thoughts related to smoking, and thoughts related to your quitting effort. It is going to seem like you're obsessed, and it'll seem that unless you fight these thoughts, they aren't going to go away. I had these worries shortly after I quit

I quit in April and I still think about it. I don't think about it as often as I did when I first quit, that is improving.

For me, though, distracting myself isn't always the answer. Sometimes, it's more helpful to just recognize I want to smoke. I choose not to. Acknowledging it, for me, gives it less power and the intensity of the wanting loses power.
