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.
:-)
"The Satisfaction Of A Cinnamon Roll Can Be Equaled And Sated By Cinnamon Toast." But doesn't that just feed the addiction? Like vaping?
