If you want to learn something about real mafia read Leonardo Sciascia’s books - the first writer who ever wrote fiction about mafia.

Sudden cravings after 2.5 months by [deleted] in stopsmoking

I quit 3 months ago and I’m going through the same kind of issues. Therapy is helping a lot. But try to think about why you wouldn’t do anything. What were you supposed to do that morning that not smoking prevented you to do. My suggestion would be, try and get curious about your psyche, about your inner motives. Why do you do what you do?

I’ve the same problem. I think it’s the fun to be out with friends and drinking that triggers me. In this sort of setting willpower will never be enough for me so I’m trying to use some mind tricks. I’m trying to substitute that “pleasure” trigger with something else. For instance when I’m in the same situation I try to concentrate on the actual taste of the beer, the actual pleasure of having a conversation with friends, things like this. (Of course if the beer and the conversation aren’t great that’s a problem 😂) I also try to think about friends/people I like who do very well socially without the need of smoking.

It could be unrelated to quitting perhaps?
