Distraction needed

[Louiseb17]

Having a craving.. 5 days patch free and nearly 10 weeks smoke free!

Think it's boredom so I'm on here passing the time (timers on 3mins)

Won't let it win..

Hope you are ok Louise and the craving passed - good you came on here - deep breathing exercises is good too - inhale for 5 seconds, exhale for 4 - repeat about 5 times

Hi Louise hangin ure in the thick of it now but it will Defo get easier. I took roisins advice and drank lots of water. I carry a 750ml bottle about and keep refilling it. Beats the cravings and gives me something to do plus it's healthy win win. Just don't light up ever

[Louiseb17 2 Years Smoke Free in reply to Frankboyd]

Thanks.. will definitely keep up the water! I rarely get cravings that intense but It passed and I'm still smoke free
