How,s it going today ST ????

I'm addicted to eating Thanksgiving leftovers. I just can't quit cold turkey!

What are some helpful tips and the best thing to do on your first day and week of not smoking? Looking for success! Quit date this week.

G’day had to goggle chocolate peanut butter cups. Mmmmm sounds pretty bloody tastie I’d like to try one of those. One only mind you, they sound pretty dangerous to get the jumbo pack to me.

6- make red neck wine glass

5. Play the cup song

4- use to play beer pong

2- use it as a measuring cup

10- use for sound proofing Solo cup

Bong used often

Morning k- smooth .... How,s it going ????.... Take some time today going for a nice walk ...take in all that lovely fresh air ... The first thing to come back alive usually is your nose .... Don't forget your NOPE.....😁🐸

Welcome K Smooth! Great decision to quit smoking! Exercise instead of eating so you don't gain weight...Best of luck! You can do it...gets easier day by day! Congratulations on taking your health back!

I also stayed close to the forum. My new friends here boosted my confidence and kept me laughing. They showed me that I was stronger than my crave and so worth a life of freedom from smoking. Keep that wonderful quit going.

You have been given great advice ....change your routine totally ...if you smoked with that first coffee... Drink fresh juice ....soon the new routine will become the Norm .... Come here and throw a pledge in ...make that promise ....and be kind to yourself .... Congratulations your on your Journey ..this train goes all the way to Freedom !!!

I logged onto my board first thing every morning while I waited for my coffee. If you've never smoked inside, that's awesome and shouldn't cause any bad cravings. I loved logging in everyday to see what my ticker was up to. I highly recommend getting one for your signature https://www.quittrain.com/tickers/ You'll be able to watch all the time, cigarettes NOT smoked and money saved since you quit 😊 I also used an air cigarette we lovingly call my JAC for bad craves. I couldn't believe how well it worked at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. Some use cut straws or pens but mine was invisible so I never had to worry about forgetting where I put it 😋

I suggest you change up the way you go about your morning and night routines. For example, if you usually get up and drink coffee before you shower and have breakfast. Then I suggest you take a shower first then eat breakfast and have some coffee. The thought process is to start a new routine that doesn't involve smoking. This will make things easier for you going forward. You can do this with any regular routine that you associated with smoking to trick your brain into a new normal routine. Stick tight to all the forums during your quit. Maybe even play a few games on here to help pass the time.

Woke up this morning with an urge but stayed positive and grabbed a dum dum lollipop I had leftover from Halloween 😬 seems to help very much any other ideas or morning routines anyone can share? Morning and nights seem to be the hardest but so far it’s almost lunchtime and I been smoke free for a few hours 😆😎

Welcome, k.smooth!

You can do this k.smooth, you are stronger than the addiction. Just have a little faith in yourself and believe you can do it.

Thanks so much @jillar 😊looking forward to the support, I know it won’t be an easy one but it’s great to know I have you & the forum! Wish me luck in the morning since it’s my start date 😎

Hi @k.smooth, Here's a whole thread full of suggegions: first days Welcome and best wishes to you for a successful quit! 😊

Welcome aboard K.smooth and great decision to quit smoking. There's a ton of different things you can do your first days. Stop smoking in the areas and times you normally would. This will help you to disassociate these areas and hopefully avoid a crave going in them. You may also want to stock up on fruit juice or water and most of us craved sweets in our early days. I was hooked on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year lol. Anyway, we have a ton of great info about our addiction addressing just about everything you could want to know. I'd start with the pinned topics in our main forum. We also have a great video forum if that's more your thing. Lastly, stick close to the forum for a while. We are here to support you in your journey so if you feel you're going to cave to a crave use our SOS forum and wait for three replies. Members will be there to help you through it 😊
