Driving in my car was a tough spot for me on my quit journey.
I didn't smoke in my house, but I did smoke in my car so I immediately lit up when I got in the car.
I started off with Blow Pops (which worked great), but, I was diagnosed with diabetes 8 months into my quit, so I had to come up with another plan.
I love to sing in the car and I remembered that singing while smoking burnt the crap out of my throat so I burned a CD with 3 songs on it - 1. American Pie 2. Stairway To Heaven 3. Bohemian Rhapsody. So I would sing.
Honestly, American Pie was normally all it took to get me past any massive craves, but there were the rare occasions I needed to sing longer so I was prepared.
**I'm an old lady so these songs may not be relevant to some (any long songs will do)**
Having a plan for different situations is very helpful.
For newbies and those still struggling - You can do it - You will find strength you never knew you had, so dig deep - stay committed - Smoking Is Not An Option No Matter What
Everyone here understands. Reach out. Talk about how you are doing - even on those bad days. Especially on those bad days!
How are you doing? What are some of your plans that are working for you?
