[chocalatelimes]

trying to find ways to keep my mind occupied so i dont think about smoking i now do a jigsaw in the mornings when i get up so i make my porridge get a cup off coffee and sit doing that before i have to get ready for work to think i used to have 5 fags before i even had a shower now i have one puff on my e-cig. so i just have to keep going i just keep having to think of positives for giving up and i am hoping that by writing a blog and getting help from all of you on here i can keep going thank you

Hi limes. You are doing great. It will amaze you how quickly the number of fags you would have smoked adds up, plus all the dosh you will save. Changing your routine and keeping busy helped me. I am a cross stitch addict and always have sewing on the go to keep my hands occupied. Keep going, stay strong......you are doing this woo hoo!

Hi Limes. I liked reading your blog, you should keep it up, good for you and good for us too

You are doing great!

Doing the jigsaw is a really good idea like the cross stitch I guess, because you can keep going back to it, and it grows, so a result too.

I haven't found my thing yet, except using this site and checking mails etc. On this phone. I think I need something else though. It isn't right to be checking it as much as I do, and can be a bit dispiriting when there's nothing there.

Driving my husband crazy, and me a bit too.

I've got loads of wool. My friend died just before Xmas. , and I was helping her husband sort out. She was always busy sewing, knitting, making cards and doing crafts. I did start a jumper, but I am not good finishing things unless it's for work. The work I do is mostly on the computer, and I used to smoke a lot, thinking breaks, so it seems to take longer now, as I don't feel as if I am thinking so well, and get quite stressed and, well, a scared feeling. I can't seem to find a good replacement, but the inhalator helps.

I'll keep looking.

Have a good night. Just going to watch TV then bed and a good book!

Hi Limes,

You seem to be doing really well. I use an e-cig and although I stopped smoking in January I am still using mine far more than a lot of people seem to so you should be pleased with yourself, I think.

I think it does take the mind a lot longer to adjust for some people. That is my experience, so far. It feels odd, but the benefits are boundless really. I am glad I found this site because I only know one other person who has given up smoking, so it's nice to link up with so many others who have or are trying to.
