Be very, very careful though. The fact is that the longer you go, the more comfortable and more confident you get in your quit. The urges get less and less, but every now and then they'll creep up totally out of the blue. I've been getting the "Aw, c'mon, you can have just one" thoughts -- nothing seems to trigger them, they just pop up. That's usually followed by, "You've got it beat now ... you can handle it. See what one tastes like. You're in control now ... so just one won't hurt." It's almost like a kid trying to dare another kid to do something they know they aren't supposed to do! If I didn't know better, it would be very convincing!!!! Just keep reminding yourself that there's no such thing as just one. That the craving will pass, even if you don't smoke.
Yes, the nicotine is out of your system, but your mind is messing with you now. It's the voice of addiction ... don't listen to it!

Never get complacent in your quit that's when you get into trouble.

It's really strange how an urge will come for no reason at all. My smoking relatives can't understand why it doesnt' bother me to be around smokers, or smoke. But being exposed to tobacco doesn't give me an urge at all....mine just come out of the blue. I get them the most when I'm idle, and I sure can't keep working or moving ALL of the time!
