Ugh, that post dinner craving......

[Andrewquits]

Hasnt been too bad today until now.

Just had dinner and now having a horrible bout of cravings. Decade old nicotine rituals kicking in.

Off for a walk with the dogs.......to take out my grumpiness in private 😡😡😡

Ah the old after dinner craving .. I used to have a chew on fruity flavoured gum - mint just didn't do it for me ... it helped a little, kinda signalled the end of the meal ... worthers creamy filling sweets also helped lol ... enjoy your walk!

Good way to deal with them, going for a walk. You're allowed to be grumpy...would be surprised if you weren't!

Back from my walk, feeling a lot less grumpy 😎 Even though it peed down the whole way 😂😂😂

Today's feels so long, which I can remember well from the last time I quit.

Cannot wait to just go to bed to be honest! Work tomorrow, but that's not too bad as I haven't smoked there since going back to work at the beginning of May.

Thanks to you all for supporting me through day 1, it has helped enormously.! Just a few more tough days getting over the physical side of things, then it's just all in the head.

I am so going to do this! For me, my wife and my kids 😍

Good for you Andy, they say it takes 21 days to break a habit, so all the feelings you are going through are perfectly normal. I can relate to the days being so long at the early stage of my quit, sadly, I couldn't wait for the weekends to end and get back to work! What helped me was setting myself a to do list that I had put on the long finger for months.

Long days and wanting to go to bed...I remember that so clearly - sometimes every minute seemed to last an hour. Well done for getting through it! It does get easier

Hi again

I found that eating fruit or something sweet after a meal helps with those cravings. After dinner cravings and after bed exercise cravings were and still are the worst for me. I must admit when I stop and think about it there nowhere near as bad as they were 6 weeks ago. Good luck with those cravings. I think the first couple of weeks all I wanted to do was stay in bed so I guess it's just another thing we all need go through

Cheers

Thanks Trem

I'll try some fruit tonight. This was the hardest craving yesterday. Other than that it went pretty good.

Hope you are doing good!

Cheers
