Thanks Briarwood - I know that but just missing it today - have got a vape with zero nicotine which I got to use in emergency like last weekend when I had party both nights - tried once but not helpful πŸ˜„

You stop that kind of thinking hon..breath in breath out.. maybe you should get out the house awhile and get some fresh air..πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ€—

Hi Shaz, if you scroll down a post there's one about HELP TO OVERCOME CRAVINGS. As Briarwood suggests get up and do something. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ€£πŸš­

Hi it isn’t really a craving as such - feel more a habit or missing something - πŸ™„

That's normal too . For a long time we have considered the cigarette as a friend. After quitting we have to replace that feeling with something else e.g. a new hobby or perhaps one that we have abandoned from lack of time. Now we have time we just have to do something with it.

If you can get out for a brisk walk - this may help you get rid of some of those feelings x
