Smoking Still?

Here's the deal...I started smoking lightly at age 15. It got progressively worse until I got "addicted." I never really smoked that much (2-3 packs per week).

I quit smoking when I entered seminary last August. Now, it is almost a year later, but my desire for a ciggy is exactly the same. After I eat, when I'm on a study break, etc. the urge comes up. When I'm around second-hand smoke, my body relaxes a bit and my mood lightens. I know that's just a sad psychological reaction to a trigger.

Question: WHEN DOES THIS MESS END????

ETA: I smoked from ages 15 to 25.

I was never really a smoker, every now and then I'd hit a cig up when I was shit faced drunk or if I was being social around a lot of people that smoked and then I'd blaze one for the peeps.

If you're trying to quit, something that worked for me was drinking redbull. I drank like 4 redbulls a day and quitting alcohol/tobacco/weed or any narcotic at all was easier to do than anything I've ever done in my life. I think I did that about 4 days a week for about 3 weeks and then I didnt need the redbull either. The redbull also help cut me up.....drinking all that had my metabolism going like a freight-train.
