The Craves The Craves

When you get a crave....

#1. feel the weather with your eyes closed.

Go outside close your eyes face the sun. take a couple of gentle deep breaths

OR

Go outside in the blizzard, turn what ever side you desire to the weather, and, let er rip.

 

#2. If you are at a social occasion and the smoke is driving you crazy?

Insert one chilled shrimp in each nostril and breathe through your mouth.

You can size them at the buffet, just don't let anyone catch you.

(Vicks works well under the nose also)

 

#3 If you want to go on the offense or just be plain offensive with your new found *****?

Wear a name badge that says "I hate smokers! Get too close and I keel u!"

 

#4 you can't smoke while you sleep !

there's a drink called "ankles in the air" that will knock you right out!

Better Google that one.

 

Did you realize you've wasted 25-30% of your valuable smoking time sleeping!

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
