Quit smoking support group

That's amazing! I'm so glad to hear this.

 

You can do it! It sounds like you're really committted, and having time to prepare and having something to take the edge off the cravings will help a lot.

 

I'm one of those people that quit smoking, but still smokes when drinking. I can't help it, it just makes the drinking better somehow. However, when I get frustrated, it makes me want to smoke. I've been frustrated for a week now, and I find myself wanting to smoke. I'm not going to, because then every time I get mad I'll make an excuse to smoke, but I wish I had a safer vice to turn to when I'm frustrated or angry.

 

5 days without one for me although I almost bought a pack yesterday. Resisted the urge, though, and ate a chocolate bar.

 

If a transmission would magically find it's way to me, I'd give up smoking while drinking for two years. But that's not going to happen, so when I have my days off this week, I'm getting hammered, and I'm going to smoke.

 

Songbird. Don't do that again. Grab an apple, orange, anything but that candy bar.

 

Yeah, don't try to say that to someone at the moment when they've settled for something else, rather than smoke a cigarette. You'll likely find that the stand-in vice is about to get shoved somewhere unpleasant.

 

Also, get up and do something. A chore around the house, take a walk, etc. That's the easiest way to fight off the oral fixation, and it takes your mind not only off efforting to buy the product, but actually using it.

That's my two cents. Every now and again I still have the urge (not cigarettes, but smokeless tobacco), and I find that works.

 

Sometimes when I really want one, I go for a quick walk. If I'm at work, I hit the stairs for as many flights as time and my lungs allow. Maybe I just have a fixation for making my lungs hurt or have to work harder.

 

I worked the candy bar off this morning with 90 minutes of cardio.

 

The next time you should eat my cookies. I'll send you some.

 

I'm sure your cookies will give me energy to help produce Parker.
