SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

OS Butch · 06-02-2011, 11:07 AM

I do agree with making little changes...For instance, still having my coffee out on the porch but in a different chair. The point for me is to avoid the automatic triggers....The one that will be the hardest is driving with a smoke. I won't be driving much in the next 10 days, so that helps...I also avoid going into 7-11....There has only been 1 reason for me to go into a 7-11!

This time for me i kept my routines and it working i still hang out with my friends and do the things i do only now i have added working out into my routine.

If you make changes to your routines they should be small and barely noticeable...

ps i still take my coffee in the same place i took it before i quit...just saying..

Go you OS Butch...you can do it. If you read back I am the example of what can happen if you don't get wise and give up. You do not wanna be where I am with the equivalent of one lung left which will never get better.

Internet and smokes are what were one of my hardest habits to break and post food cigs. They were killers to move past....but I did. I kept my routines the same too gaea and went to the same coffee shop with my smoking mates - even continued going outside with them when they smoked for a goodly while. Still visited my buddy round the corner who I'd smoked joints for years with but just changed over to a bong. I Still go to the same parties with all the smokers around. I didn't want to change those things, that would have meant I wasn't living my life as I like it.

Wishing you lots of luck in breaking the habits whilst you're away OS Butch.

I certainly won't change my friends....They didn't dump me because I smoked. Funny thing is that I only have one other friend that smokes, so being around my friends doesn't present temptations!

Thanks Incubus.

Been there Nat...About 36 hours ago. They say the 1st week is the hardest....The first 3 days are the killer. Go ahead, break something, I won't tell a soul.

Day 4 of my success

Craving are bad and I so do want to eat everything in site. Good thing I have a very busy day and weekend ahead.

I find keeping busy with things that require concentration helps with not thinking about smoking.

Have a great smoke free day and weekend!

Oh the cravings! At a festival and every other person is smoking.....I will not bum, I will not bum a cigarette...I will not!
