Sakes alive - Day FIVE?!!!!!!
Boredom is one of the key danger zones when you are quitting smoking. Get busy instead! March in place! Take a walk! Do a set of stairs! Look online for a different recipe for dinner, go to the store to buy the ingredients, then spend some prep time and enjoy the fruits of your labors with your new and improved taste buds. Do a crossword or jigsaw puzzle, or get an adult coloring book and markers. Clean out a closet or a drawer (or the freezer)! Think about a new hobby you can do with the extra time you now have! YouTube has tutorials on cross stitch, knitting, crocheting, woodworking - you name it - it's there. You can buy the materials online, too!
Search online for something to reward yourself after the first week quit using the money you have saved by quitting. It's a good idea to keep this money separate from the deadly budget abyss so you can watch it grow and dream about what you can do with it as a reward. Some folks have kept it in a jar and I think that's a GREAT idea.
Hang in there - H#ll Week is almost over!
