Not a bad one and I know why I'm craving a cigarette.. I've swapped my smoking addiction to sweets and chocolate πŸ˜‚ So decided to cut them out today and go on a diet lol

And I think I'm craving a cigarette because I don't know what to do with myself πŸ˜‚

Not giving in to it because I know it will pass.. so I came here to post instead lol

Hey Louise, your number 1 priority is not to smoke at this still very early stage in your quit - nothing or nobody should come in the way of jeopardising your quit - if you need sweets and chocolate, so be it, have them but please don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself - any weight gain can be addressed later on when you are stronger in your quit.

Stay close to us and good woman for posting :)

Also ordered some adult colouring books and pencils to keep occupied πŸ‘πŸ» Anything to keep me busy!

Hope you had a great paddys day? ☘️ Weather was terrible wasn't it?

Hey Louise, sorry I've only just seen this post. A chocolate bar is so much better than a cigarette in all comparison. But you done the right thing posting on here. Stay strong you got this, your doing so well πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
