Another year is upon us lets do our best to make it a great one! I'm wishing each and everyone of you reading this a very Happy New Year! Today is another bread baking day for me so by 6:30 this morning I had it rising in the bowl, I make a dozen loaves at a time plus a pan of rolls, my hubby Mark won't eat store bought bread lol! πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ The grandchildren love it too especially Mason they'd be shocked if they came and there wasn't any homemade bread here! Anyway I'm NOT sure what my point is other than if you're struggling with your quit keeping busy is a great distraction! I found in the early stages of my quit  that keeping my mind as well as my hands occupied really helped, I also found that watching comedy either on T.V or dvds or on YouTube was a great distraction because if you're in the middle of a huge belly laugh you surely wouldn't thinking of a you know what!!!! I also chomped on carrots and celery sticks and I kept a bag of sugar free mints around in case of any unforseen cravings plus I drank a lot of water and stilI do I also read everything I could find right here on this site which strengthened my resolve to kick the nicotine poison to the curb permanently it wasn't easy by any stretch of the imagination BUT with the help of this community I made it through AND so will you! Deep breaths! You've got this!

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
