Share your quitting journey
For two years after you quit smoking, you will probably have a smoking memory when the seasons change. Be prepared, not surprised by it. This is probably because you only experience these four times a year, so you haven't formed new associations yet.
I especially felt this the first time I raked leaves. I was used to taking a break with a bottle of ice water and a smoke. What I had was not really a craving, but more than just a memory! I came up with the idea of a small, ice cold Pepsi over crushed ice. I don't drink soda anymore, so it really is a treat.
Your memory might be sitting on the deck with your favorite beverage, or after doing yard work. You might want to think about a plan for what you will do differently THIS spring!
