Tip for craves...worked for me

As crazy as this may sound...Vicks Vapor Rub.

i can't recall now where on the Internet I read this but back when I was overwhelmed with craves, I found this little article about using Vicks and low and behold...it was like magic for me.

i carried Vicks everywhere I went. I even bought the Vicks inhaler. I had a little blue bottle of magic in darn near every room of this house!

i would put it on my chest, under my nose and occasionally a dab on my tongue.

i have no idea why it worked, but it did and the craves left me right away. I never smoked menthol, so that had nothing to do with it. 

I only used it for the first month or so and wow was my hubby glad I gave up the Vicks, lol. But anyway, just wanted to share that little trick.

truly though, although the Vicks helped me in tuff times, I cannot say enough how important it is to really educate yourself early on about how and why craves happen. The more knowledge you have the better prepared you will be when the craves hit. It will click and make sense. You can and will succeed. N.O.P.E.

now go out there and stay strong today. You can do this...You Will do this, you want this....so take it and hold on. Yoir worth the fight! Remember that!

Smoking is not an option for me. I no longer have a wishbone to quit smoking...I developed a backbone and I quit. When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will quit smoking too.
