Hi tiny2018,
As atp shared, there are often two kinds of cravings: physical and mental. It seems as though you may be beyond the physical cravings (nicotine is typically processed by the body within 72 hours) and left with mental urges.
I'm glad your craving dissipated before you bought more cigarettes. Cravings can be uncomfortable, but this experiences shows you can get through them, and they do pass!
Also, it's okay to be gentle with yourself! Quitting smoking isn't easy and your body is going through a lot. It is normal you slept for much of a day.
Congratulations on staying smoke-free! We're rooting for you! You got this.
Kate R
