You're doing good things by staying active, being with friends, and gnawing on things!. At the worst of my cravings I rode my bike like a bat outa !.!.!. !. I used a lot of gum and celery sticks!. I also (don't laugh) blew soap bubbles!. When my co-workers went out for a smoke, I went out and blew bubbles!. Do what you can to keep your hands busy!. I learned to crochet at that time!. Oh yeah, and I cleaned like a crazy lady!. Lemon oil will take smoke scum build up off most non-porous surfaces!.
