Struggling not to smoke at the moment so

[Nini74]

I'm keeping my hands busy by coming on here - and then I'm going to head for a long soak in the bath. Been doing fine - still not had a ciggie since Saturday night, but not feeling any different yet which I suppose doesn't inspire me to keep going. Plus I've been eating more than normal so I'm feeling sluggish and guilty (supposed to be trying to lose weight not gain it, but one thing at a time I suppose). Anyway, just wanted to come on here and have a rant & moan as sometimes it puts things in perspective to put it into words. Plus i found my Alan Carr book again last night so I'll have a read of that while I'm in the bath, and will then, hopefully, be more inspired to stick with it. Fingers crossed for me xx

Have a big glass of water... randomly I always felt it helped take the edge off a craving doing that... or maybe the craving just passed in the time it took to drink it!

[Nini74]

funnily enough I have been drinking an awful lot of water in work, so i'll do that when I have a craving next too - anything to keep going!

Well done and keep at it - I'm sure that you can kick this habit - just take it in small achievable goals, and reward yourself with something nice, preferably not food!

After a week of cleaning for visitors I really wish I didn't smoke, it's a filthy habit. Well done and keep going. x

I don't believe all the stories about the evil affects of tobacco are true... To me a cigarette is food, tobacco is my favourite vegetable (Frank Zappa)

Nini74 (UMRK - didn't Frank Zappa die of cancer?)

Yeah, My Hero Frank Zappa died from Prostate Cancer.. He actually said (I don't believe all the stories about the evil affects of tobacco are true... To me a cigarette is food, tobacco is my favourite vegetable) when he was dying...

When I was trying to give up smoking, I promised myself that I would buy something nice with the money I saved.
