Hi Jan, yes I know how you must be feeling. How about a nice stroll down to the water to try and take your mind off it?

You can do this, keep strong, keep shouting, keep punching, how about trying singing?

That's it Jan, bopp and sing in the kitchen, it will take your mind of things and cheer you up, that's the kind of thing i do, it's great, I'm sure your singing is not that bad, you should hear mine and i don't care

stay strong

I got home for work and could smell something really unpleasant in the kitchen. It turns out that my dog has spent the day rolling in a bottomless pit of vulture shit or something of that nature and was in dire need of a shower/bath/water cannon/flamethrower or something drastic. My point is, this took my mind completely off anything smokey for a good half hour. Others within this community refer to chocolate and sweets to divert their attention but I thought I'd pass on this gem of wisdom just in case the sweets don't work.

Well done for getting this far. Keep it up, I know it's not easy but we can all act as crutches for one another.

Aup Jan

Your doing just great gal if you can, do different things, as in not the normal routine if you see what I mean, cos the times that you used to smoke, like with your first cuppa in the morning, erm waiting at the bus stop and when you've had a meal etc try to start a new routine, like dont have a cuppa first thing, have orange juice instead ha ha that will wake you up gal do you see what I mean I know changing routine is hard, but it will help you with your quit I know cos I've done it

The first week is always the worst Jan !! the cravings do slow down and get easier as you learn how to deal with them

Please please stay strong Jan, you will get there gal, and we will help you in any way we can, you just come and shout gal speak soon.
