Nothing beats a good walk when craving and feeling restless.

 

Congratulations on putting Day One behind you.

Congratulations, Urkster !

 

Part of quitting is learning how to do nothing, take breaks etc. without a smoke.

This will get easier and easier with each and every crave and trigger you conquer.

 

Check out our friend, Joel Spitzer's

How To Do Nothing Without A Cigarette

 

Keep in mind that some urges for a smoke are really signals that your body needs something, like water or food or rest....

H.A.L.T  (Hungry. Angry (emotional) Lonesome (bored) Tired) can account for a lot.

Good job Urkster.  Keep trudging forward.  First couple of days are the tough ones, but you can do it.    Keep your mind on the prize - a life free of smoking.

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.
