General Tips for Handling Craves


16 years ago 0 216 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
just get up and go for a walk. Even a short one to remove you from the situation that started the crave. Concentrate on your breathing as you walk. I have done this twice already this morning and it worked well. :)

Sorry Stickin to it but your statement: "Exhale fully, breath in deeply for three seconds, hold breath for thee seconds, exhale slowly for six seconds. Repeat a few times. " Reminds me of something I did in College with a round cylinder and water bubbling in the middle. ;p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 112 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,800 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $392.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35

Hi all, I chew on a straw (as opposed to sucking on it). I have two glasses of wine. Sometimes I get in my bed with the remote and watch a little tv. i get in my bed and read a novel...oprah's book list, I like. I give myself a pedicure..if I have exta energy. I write on scc. But, most of all, I remember the importance of NOPE. new me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/26/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 89 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,136 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $445.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10
