Trade Offs And Substitutes

[JonesCarpeDiem]

You have to learn to replace smoking with different things.

Example:

The Satisfaction Of A Cinnamon Roll Can Be Equaled And Sated By Cinnamon Toast.

Think about that. What you really are craving is the cinnamon taste and some "richness." That's where the butter comes in.  🙂

Now, try to relate that to how you could  or are replacing things in your routine. Changing into a non smoker requires other changes besides not smoking..

That means finding other ways to get satisfaction that you got from smoking.

It takes time for your  acetylcoline receptors to normalize to those of a non smoker.

(Now, don't think about getting up to make cinnamon toast.)

Onward and Upward.

I wish..........She has been so supportive, so maybe she will hold the amount down...I hope she is able to Quit soon. I haven't seen her smoke a whole cigarette in years but lights up often.

Skip the whole bread/roll deal...at least for me, both are really addictive

 Chopped apple, plain yogurt, walnuts, cinnamon, and a sprinkling of brown sugar...YUM!!!

Realised as I was sitting on the bus to the lake on this perfect day for a sunny snowy walk that "smoker" me would have probably procrastinated for hours with rollies in the garden and never made it out for this greater pleasure. On the bus home I saw two smokers at the busstop, I observed that despite their cigarettes they did indeed look bored, they also looked sheepish and unsatisfied, I didn't envy them though the edgy feeling was there.

 Nothing TO envy TessaGrace‌ they want what YOU have!  They don't want to HAVE to smoke...
