Be ready for them cravings.. cause it comes with the territory and try to focus on why you need to quit..

Hi nkineza, you need to distract yourself, read a book, clean your teeth, run up and down the steps, jump on the spot, ring a friend. Cravings last between 5 and 6 minutes, and each one beaten is one less towards your smoke free goal!

Hi nkineza, if you haven't already read the post mind games that Tubbs put on here a few days ago. Its good ammunition for the fight hun, the more you know the better you can deal with it and make sure you do those breathing exercises that our gal's been talking about. You can find them in the pinned posts.

So when that craving hits get on here and chat it out with someone..or take deep breaths and say to yourself I will not let you defeat me no longer.. hug's โฃ๏ธ

STOP THINKING about smoking!occupy yourself more. sometimes cravings happen because you are bored, fed up. Remove what makes you feel like that...pace yourself and REWARD even for a day not smoking. Many people do a big mistake GOING COLD TURKEY, that's too fast...set yourself achievable goals....and stick to them.

dont even think about it lol!! Close your eyes -& turn your back & if the weather is good -go outside where you cant see them & chant the mantra (YES I CAN QUIT SMOKING!!! ) over & over -think of all of the long term health problems say to quote a phrase under different circumstances JUST SAY NO!!! (I DONT WANT A CIGARETTE!!!!!) When you get up in the morning & you feel a craving chant those mantras

Use positivity it will help you in the long run!!!! You can do it !!!!
