Coloring helps!!!

Ok guys so I have figured out that another way to fight my cravings to smoke is color!!! “Color?” Your probably saying but believe it or not... the app that I have downloaded... you are able to create beautiful pictures and because you become eager to see the finished product... you don’t think about anything else but that!!! If you want to try it please do, and let me know!!!
This is a picture of many that I have done!!! I love it!!

**For anyone who wants to try this the app is called “Gallery” you can download it for free for iOS and Android!!**

Cool! I have recommended that folks get old-fashioned paper, adult coloring books and markers (I understand there is even one with cuss words!), but had NO idea there is an app for that.

Thanks for educating me!

My husband bought me a swear word coloring book. It gave me something to do with my hands, something to focus my brain on, and made me laugh. It was 5 dollars on Amazon. And then he bought me one of those 200 crayon sets. Coloring is great as a distraction!

Coloring, crossword puzzles. Some play solitaire, use apps to play cards (hold-em, 5 or 7 card stud)

I enjoy playing card games and learned how to play the harmonica since I quit.   Anything that occupies you mind is a good thing

Anything that distracts you is great.   I also found playing video games helpful.

Good job
