So... 5 days to find a suitable crave buster... chewy worked well for me because I am fidgetty.... but hard boiled lollies (sweets/candy) work well because if you suck them they last a while which helps with the crave... I tend to go the suck now but in the early days It was definately chewy as my go too (chewy = gum)... another trick, which can be a bit painful, is to have an elastic around your wrist and flick it to hold the crave at bay... but it stings and you can come across asa bit of a nuttah if your standing there flicking the elastic band harder and harder until the crave passes.

-15 ... did you hear about my research project too Reci... what can I say I was young, it seemed like a good idea at 3am when I was drunk...

alive n'well

So answer this... are the good memories the smoking or are the good memories other things that happened at the same time and the people they happened with... see the smoking was just incidental, it was like sharing a meal of having a drink, sure it is part of the memory but when you think about what went on, what made it good it wasn't the drink, or the food, OR the smokes... it was the things your said or the things you did and the things you felt.... thinking it was the smokes, that's just the nicob1tch in ya ear... smoking had nothing to do with making those memories good, it was as significant as the clothes you wore and the shoes on your feet... don't give the nicobitch the power to hold any significance in your special treasured memories cos she has none, that's just bullshit that she was so significant to those memories... sorry for the tough love but don't give smoking any special place in your memory because thats crap.... ... I quit in the middle of my softball season, most of my team mates and friends at softball smoke... (even behind the dugout during the game when we bat)... so anyway... I associated heaps of stuff with smoking and on my first Saturday at softball post my mid week quit I nearly worked myself into a panic attack because how would I be able to be at softball and not smoke... ok so there were moments where I would normally smoke and I would really want one... but I told my mates I was quit and they had my back... just like your bro sounds like he has yours. It was hard, there were triggers, but I knew they would be there. I knew I would have temptation week in and week out but each interaction was easier to deal with than the last... So I made sure I had lots of chewies (gum) and hard lollies and would just pop one of those and either chew may way through the situation or suck the lolly (candy)... most of all I had faith in myself to fight the urge because it was just a programmed action, not what I loved about softball or hanging at the rooms with my mates.

-2 ... all shopped out here and the kid is a flirt.... I'm in so much trouble... although on a plus side I had lots of 'people' (teenage boys) to help me in the camping shop and the hardware/garden centre.... even if I didn't want or need their help.
