Are you using any nrt or going cold turkey? this will help us help you. You will find that among our members they have quit using a range of nrt to cold turkey :) :)

I wouldn't worry to much about the eating at the moment, but try and identify if it is the hand at mouth thing or just as a comfort.

try using healthier options, i used to prepare carrot sticks celery etc in one bowl and make up fruit salad in another :)

Drink lots of water as this helps flush our the toxins

WE have a little mantra we use around here ..NOPE = Not One Puff Ever.. Keeps us on track :) :)

i went cold turkey and in my opinion, the first few weeks are tough..but so worth in :) :)

You may find reading Allan Carrs book "easy way to quit smoking" worth reading as it really does help you see smoking in an entire different light. :) :)

Keep this site nice and close, come on for a chat, a vent , to ask questions, what ever you need, it is great for a distractions from cigarettes too :) :)

We have members from a few different countries with differing time slots , so there is generally some one about..For me it is 9-30 Sunday evening downunder in Australia :)

Forgot to add, that book is available online as a free pdf...just google it :)

Hi Elaino67, its lovely to meet you :) and a big warm welcome to our lovely quit support family :) :)

Quitting smoking has got to be one of the best ever decisions we can make in our lives :) and you have made that decision :) sooo, lets help to keep you smokefree eh :) :) As you have found out, their a flippin great bunch on here and we try to help each other the best we can :)

Elaino, please dont worry too much about the eating :) cos if you can beat the smokes, you can beat anything :) :) that includes weight gain, but later eh :) try to eat healthy, maybe prepare some chopped raw carrot and some fruit and make a snack box that you can put in the fridge, sooooo, when you feel peckish, just get your snack box out and have a munch :o :) :) Just a thought gal :) Try sipping water, cos this can help with cravings too :)

Good luck Elaino :) and please just come on here when you want a chat or need some help or want a good old rave :o :D :D thats what this lovely community is all about :) :)
