Hi all, hope this finds you well...
I've still got the peace but wow, what a wash of cravings today.. I think from keeping an eye on things that it's the 'reward' or 'break' that I miss when doing jobs around the house etc. The cravings are definitely less and I spent Friday with my smoking friend and didn't feel the need to pinch a cigarette.
I'm just finding it a bit rough when I'm doing stuff... hoping it passes soon.
All the best to everyone
Hey Jo, 64 days today and going strong, well done! The 'reward smoke' is a perfectly normal thing to go through and hard to shake off and get rid of the habit of doing, I found it very difficult but what I done to substitute was my water juicer bottle - it was a godsend for craving and for those rewards - it was healthy and refreshing and hit the spot, it is a bottle that you chop up any bits of fruit or herbs you like, put into bottom compartment and top up with water throughout the day (picture attached), actually started a trend in my previous job with it, chopped up mint, cucumber and lemon, very refreshing

By the way, have you decreased your nicotine level or use of your e-cig by any chance as that could be contributing to it? Are you using the ecig after these tasks?
Roisin thank you 😊 I've bought one of those bottles after I read you talking about it somewhere else, great tip!! I'm trying not to eat rubbish as I'm maid of honour at my friends wedding in July and the dress is fitted! So hard! 😂
I'm using two strengths of nicotine in the e cig, 0.6 and a 1.6 for the bad times! I'm trying not to use it at cigarette times as I don't want to just substitute smoking with it. I have a couple of toots when I think I need them... maybe use it a bit more. Don't really want to habit form with it. Thanks as always Roisin, you're a brilliant support 😊
