Mercy's right, boldinaz. There is a typical "rough spot" around the 30 day mark that lasts a few days. Some experience little, but some experience the first few days all over.
I believe it has to do with monthly triggers (i.e., writing out the rent/mortgage check, paying monthly bills, balancing the checkbook, etc.). Over the years you have formed memory associations between certain activities and smoking. When you perform one of those activities it triggers the memory of smoking which triggers the desire for a cig. This is not necessarily a conscious process, btw.
The "cure" is to perform the activity without smoking. This weakens the original memory link and also forms a new one of doing the activity smokefree. Sometimes only once is required, sometimes it may take a few times. Just know that it will eventually be "fixed".
Major congrats on your first month of freedom. That is an awesome and wonderful accomplishment. Reward time!!! ;p
