This is for anyone and all ..

However it's also for Mae, Mel and Sliverpink

**Quit Tip

Do Something Different This Time

If you've been quit for a while, and are concerned because you had a slip, congratulations for taking steps to get back on track. You've probably learned a lot through the days and weeks of being a nonsmoker; you can put that into practice now. Pay attention to what happened when you slipped, so you can do something different the next time.

From .. Quitnet ..

Yes, that's a great tip.

I think the what messes me up the most is:

1. This feeling that I am being deprived of pleasure.

and

2. Flat out Thinking about it too much.

Banish those thoughts. Deal with the craves - - they are only temporary. Find SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. Paint!(LOLOL)

Nothing to it!(haaaaaaaaa)

BUT, you CAN DO IT. Only think ONE day at a time. Forever is too long. JUst for TODAY.

I also agree on the *thinking* surely doesn't help

Thanks Tracy :)

I just try to think the most disgusting thoughts whenever I think about a smoke. Trying to associate it with disgust rather than a temporary solution to my stress.
