When is the most difficult time during your quit attempt?

[EmJay]

Hi Everybody,

Just though it might be a good idea to find out where and when your most difficult and trying times during your quit attempts are?

Things to consider are; trigger points, socialising, being alone, eating , drinking etc.

For me it would be the morning, when would have been my first one, early evening when watching tv and certain foods; which is why i cut them out of my diet, they were unhealthy foods so that was a plus, just keep my hands busy at other times

Hi Emjay, the worst time for me is as i've said before, when i drink, which i have just cracked a can open, erm first thing in the morning used to be a bad time, and driving also, as for after meals i think everybody has that one!!!! as for keeping my hands busy, i'm always on the go doing something so that dosn't really bother me.

After a meal is hard for me as I always really enjoyed one then, also when I go for my morning walk in the Park I use to take one with me, mad really because I was doing somethink healthy with a b----y unhealthy white stick in my mouth.Never mind what,s done is done and there,s no point in looking back. Forward is the only option for us all.

I find i get a craving just after a meal. I think its actually the physical lighting a cigarette up , rather than the actual smoking that i miss. I now pick up the inhalator instead.

When I am bored I get really uncomfortable so I try to keep my hands busy as well as my mind. If I am watching telly I will cross-stitch, if I am washing up I want to occupy my mind so I put music on and sing along.

Avoid stressfull situations the best you can. If you think you need a cigerette go for a quick walk around the block and by the time your back the thought will be gone.

Worse time for me was when the phone rang, I would answer it go to the kitchen light a ciggy and stand outside the back door, think I did this because I was bored of standing outside smoking on my own plus I use to rush to get back inside so that was probs more unhealthy, taking bigger drags and smoking it as quick as I could, talking on the phone was allowing me to enjoy it better. I am now not taking the phone into the kitchen at all as it triggers a craving for a cigarette.
