In tracking my cigarette cravings I really notice how much I have used cigarettes as a reward . Whenever I finish a task like washing the dishes or vacuuming I have a crave for a cigarette. I think that is why I have hung on to the one smoke time a day it is like a reward for not smoking the rest of the day . I am quickly approaching the day to end that little "reward " and realize it is NOT a reward at all but a hindrance in my ability to become an EX smoker .Now I have been taking big breaths through the straw and feeling a sense of relaxation when I do it but knowing I am breathing clean air !
