Totally craving a smoke..I'm at work..took a short walk but it's freezing out..cant cchew gum I have TMJ
Thanks grabbed a bottle of water..
Any kind of movement helps. Walking with swinging arms is great if you can do that inside. I wore headphones at work and listened to oldies and just bopped my head with the music sometimes. Believe it or not, that really helps.
Thanks will put my earbuds in my work bag
Chew on straws!!! The cold outside for a few minutes might snap you back to keep your quit!

Many things to do ...do more work, go in bathroom and do jumping jacks, listen to some relaxing music, suck on hard cinnamon candy... start reading blogs and comment, sometimes helping others will help you...if nothing all else pray for strength...sending good vibes your way.
Thank you!
Yes. We help ourselves by helping others.
You've GOT this...your addiction is panicking and trying to get you back. Think of it as a toddler in need of a time out.

By now that crave has passed. It's one crave at a time--because nicotine is addictive and craves are normal in a quit. Just keep staying aware that a crave does not mean you have to smoke. Let it pass. They become weaker and fewer. Yes you can!
Next time it hits. Water and breathing. You can do this
I think you've earned a nice warm sudsy bath don't you?? Nice and clean with maybe a candle?? No cigarette stench??
I'm certainly not gonna miss that cigarette smell on my clothes
Get a small bottle of bubbles and blow away I kept them in my car as well and blew them when I sat in traffic. My coworkers loved them, too!! I also got a hula hoop. Everyone used it! Get creative and have some fun.

Come outside the box. Drink bottled water through a straw. Suck on a mint. As for gum, you don't have to chew it. Break off a small piece and place it under your tongue. Cinnamon sticks, licorice root. cut up straws. 101 Things to Do Instead of Smoke
