Hard Day

Jennydls:
Hi I am not to my full month of SMOKE FREE Yet...but I can tell you that my cravings were worst till day 5.  Then I would just say out loud to anyone around me..."LOOK AT THE CLOCK TILL I STAY STOP!"  LOL that was how long I found out my craves actually lasted.  Sure there were different times I craved it...but now I don't crave them at all.  Well let me rephrase that...there are times that are stressful or other times when I THINK i need a cigarette...and on those times I count to myself now...I am finally at the point of 5 seconds max.  Just get through the cravings and you will know you have this beat!    
 
Ashley..Hope this helps others on how I deal with the cravings...COUNT IT OUT LOUD....then when it passes get ICE WATER......and It is all gone..
