Here is a three page thread about this with more ideas. It's pinned in Quit Smoking Discussions and called 'Your First Days, Nicotine Free. I will link this thread to that thread, too.

N O P E Rewards for Doreen

Good Health to you, Doreen. I will be thinking of you today. S

I am glad you quit and also glad you had a good day. When quitting, you must expect a certain amount of discomfort and you are going to have to do a bit of work on yourself to change your patterns and learn to recognize the lies of an addict. There is no Magic Bullet. Quitting addiction is an opportunity to get real REAL with yourself and the rewards will astound you. A question to ask is, how continuing to administer Nicotine, a drug that creates it's own colossal stress of constant withdrawal, going to help you cope with the really stressful times ? I look forward to your second smoke free day tomorrow. Don't forget, you can simply breathe through the craves. S p.s. It was good seeing you in games today, another great way to beat craves.

I've been whirring up nuts or seeds in my food processor with a bit of oil and making YUMMY high protein butters, like peanut butter. No sugar, salt to taste. Cayenne, always Good. Sometimes a bit of lemon juice. I did one with fresh dill that was crazy good. Refrigerate to be safe. I buy raw or roasted unsalted organic seeds and nuts in bins from the health food store. Pumpkin Seed butter, excellent ! Sunflower Seed Butter, Sesame Seed Butter (homemade Tahini for your Hummus YUM) Those three are really reasonably priced, as are peanuts. More dosh for incredible Cashews, Pecans, Filberts, Walnuts. OMG... Pistachio Butter is DELUXE !!! Delicious butters to spread on a cracker or a slice of apple or zucchini or banana or finger. Good for your innards. Good for your brain. Really good for your taste buds.

2 hiya Joe. Decide where to have your next holiday with whales ?

I remember having some curiosity about whether I would stay quit. More out of interest, really, rather than any real doubt. For certain, I did not relish repeating Hell week. That will never happen again. Ever. I gained confidence at one week, two weeks and a big boost at one month, then two. At Three Months I was fully realizing that I would never smoke again. I might still have some struggles but, the die was cast. When did you have confidence in your quit ?

2 wow, it hasn't been on the Stick side in a while....

:( That's what today is all about.
