Day 1 fight the after meal crave

[nsd_user663_61182]

Scared to eat my dinner...food or fag...I say fooooood

[nsd_user663_61030]

Just had a Sunday roast myself..... You can't beat it.... And to distract you from having a fag after there is always the mountain of washing up.... Distractions work when the triggers like after food or drinks happen..... Hope to see you on day 2

Hey Brebre,

We know exactly how you feel

Deep breaths to relax

Drink some water

Don't give up, instead...

Delay for a couple of minutes to let the craving pass

Do something else to take your mind off it

Discuss your feelings here!

HTH,

Steve

It's better to keep the taste of food in your mouth than the taste of burning foliage! Have a cup of tea after your meal, that tastes nicer than fags. Or get some raisins to nibble on....they're nice and sweet for after a meal.

Oh, and the distractions really are good; they will take your mind off the fags very quickly......honestly (as long as you let them!).

Each to their own, Brebre.

Personally, I'm using NRT (see my sig), but there are plenty of folks here doing CT. As long as you quit in the end, use whatever tools you need.

Cheers, Steve

Enjoy your takeaway, mmmm prawn crackers, me likey!

I was out for an early Sunday dinner now I fancy a cheese toasty! Roll on the nitemares lol!!

As a smoker, I rarely let the taste of a meal linger for a while after I finished eating, but it's one of the things I'm enjoying about not smoking now.

The taste can hang around for ages if you let it, and it's rather nice...
