Yesterday we talked about getting readyand the start of Stoptober.

Yesterday you should have made your list of reasons to quit.

So today why not challenge yourself.

Just see how long you can go without a cigarette. You donโ€™t have to think your quitting , just give yourself a challenge. Can you manage to go 15 minutes or may be 1 hour,without a smoke. If you manage to control your craving for a certain amount of time , work on how you could extend the time without smoking.

Think of jobs you can do to replace or at least make it awkward to smoke.

Example..

Wash your hair.

Brushing your teeth

Going to a non smoking place like a library.

If you manage to learn how to control your urge to smoke , you will find it easier to quit once you actually start your quit journey.

Let us know how you get on. :) xx

Good morning Jillygirl, all the wonderful admin team and all you fantastic members too ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Great post Jillygirl! The cravings are very much the size of quitting, just getting through one craving at a time. When I thought like that, I thought hey, maybe this is doable ๐Ÿค”

Come and talk, let us know what helped you get on your quit, let us know what youโ€™re worried about quitting. There is a wealth of information to signpost you too or hear from the admin team and other members.

Also, the more you members engage, the better this site can be ๐Ÿคฉ

Hope you all have a great day and welcome ๐Ÿค— any new comers jumping on Stoptober ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿšญ

Good morning Cloe, Thanks for encouraging our members . We all need a little help now and again. I hope we get some new members who actually do feel good on Friday when you open the forum. I know I felt really proud of myself when I had managed nearly a week.

Happy Wednesday . ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐโ˜•โ˜•โ˜•๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฐโ˜•โ˜•โ˜•โœ–โœ–โœ–โœ–โœ–
