I finished part of a project on my desktop computer and the first thing I wanted was to smoke. I always did that. I'd finish part of a project, feel satisfied, and reward myself with a smoke. Instead I ate a piece of ginger candy and went for a mile walk. Yesterday thanks to dad I got 10,000 steps for the day. So, yay! And I've lost that urge to smoke when I'm chatting in the role play chat I go to. I love the chat, but there are long periods of silence that usually I just went out for a smoke while waiting. Now I go for a 10min walk and see what's happened after that. So much of my smoking was tied to being on the computer or commercial breaks on TV. It's no wonder I just buried myself in blankets the first day and practically slept it off.

The associations can take a while to break. The "I'll do xyz and then have a smoke" ones. It's tricky but then one day you just crack on with the next job and it's not till later you think "oh, I forgot about not smoking there" lol. It sneaks up on you bit by wonderful bit. 

 

You're doing great!!

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
