Hi AT, you're having what is known as mind games. It's the addiction part trying to get you to smoke again.
Just think....... By lightning up you can solve the problem for 5 minutes, by NOT lightning up you can solve the problem for the rest of your life.
Remember the 4 D's...
Delay
Deep breathing take 5/6 deep breaths, concentrating on the air going in and out.
Drink water drink a tall glass of water
Do something do anything go for a walk, phone a friend, clean your teeth.
You are stronger than cigarettes.

Aup AT and welcome to our Community and a big WELL DONE YOU for not giving in
I see our lovely Tubby gave you some great advice
Smoking and drinking alcohol go hand-in-hand I'm afraid, there the best of friends Quite a few of us have had to quit drinking too, to start with and then gradually have one or two now and again.
So maybe just cut down a bit until you get stronger in your quit journey Good luck pal

Well done for staying strong! I'm on a similar time scale to yourself and drinking has always been my biggest downfall, I would get to X amount of weeks not smoking - go for a drink then smoke again.
This time I'm giving up alcohol as I know it is my path back into smoking, if you feel similar it might be worth giving up the booze for a while (or at least until you feel you have a hold on smoking).
Good luck!

Good morning everyone. Yes, it has crossed my mind to quit drinking in order to kick smokes permanently. I'll try it for a few days and see how I get on. 🌟🌟Thank you

So I've been checking on the group everytime I have a craving, it seems to be working well. Thank you all for being so wonderful and supportive xoxoox
Btw, toast and marmite seems to subside the cravings for me 😅
Good for you AT123.. don't give up and I check on this site often as well.
Another marmite fan, I love
It but it makes Corrina heave 🤣🤣
I can't stand the stuff either.🤢🤢XXX
Hmmmm, I’ll have to try and change your mind, after all we are Twinkie’s.
Twinkie Sue, Tubby the tabby would even sell his soul for a lick..... XXX
All we need now is Tubby the girlie to enjoy hot toast with lashings of butter and a generous smear of marmite (with either coleslaw or sliced cucumber on top).
