hi everyone, I've cut down drastically on smoking pretty recently only having about 1 a day, still getting a lot of cravings though, want to stop entirely but that one a day keeps me sane. does anyone have any ideas on how to beat the cigarettes for good? cant use nicotine patches either because I'm so allergic to them
How do you all beat cravings?: hi everyone, I... - No Smoking Day
How do you all beat cravings?
Hi Beth, the pinned posts have some ideas on how to handle cravings. But in general I think having something you can concentrate on when a craving hits, exercise, cold water, hot tea, herbal supplements.
I used an e-cig, which I found helpful. Read up on all of the NRT before you try any of them.
I think having the one a day is not helping the cravings. Generally the physical cravings disappear within 48-72 hours. Even if you only have one it keeps your systems from fully cleansing. And I imagine you look forward to the one all day. Good luck.
Hey beth-1997 - can't really add much more to Cocoa's excellent advice - definitely try and set a stop date for that 1 cigarette. Below pinned post is worth a read;
Probably what I used the first weeks after quitting was the zero nicotine vape pen .icy fruit , gum, lots of distraction for your mind , and herbal tea all day !
Stay away from alcohol and caffeine first 3 months is very important ..keep it up 👍
thankyou all for your replies managed to go yesterday with none! so excited
