[COLOR=PURPLE]HEY THERE JOSEPHL.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH. MY FAVORITE CIGARETTE OF THE DAY - AND THE HARDEST TO GIVE UP WAS THE FIRST ONE IN THE MORNING.
MY ALARM WOULD GO OFF AT 6 AM, AND BEFORE I EVEN OPENED MY EYES I WAS WALKING OUTSIDE SMOKING A CIGARETTE.
THE WAY THAT I LEARNED TO COPE WITH THAT ONE WAS INSTEAD OF GOING OUT AND LIGHTING UP A SMOKE, I WOULD WALK TO THE WINDOW, LOOK OUTSIDE AND TAKE SOME DEEP BREATHS, THEN I WOULD GO AND JUMP INTO THE SHOWER.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR ROUTINE SCHEDULE, BUT TO ALSO BE SURE TO SUBSTITUTE SMOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS AT WORK. I HAD CERTAIN SCHEDULED TIMES THAT I WOULD GO TO THE SMOKING AREA. WELL, I STILL TAKE MY SCHEDULED TIMES, BUT INSTEAD OF THE SMOKING AREA, I TAKE THAT FIVE MINUTES TO WALK AROUND THE WAREHOUSE AND BREATH DEEP. IT DOES GET EASIER, I PROMISE YOU THAT, BUT YOU HAVE TO WANT TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU.
KEEP POSTING, AND STAY STRONG.[/COLOR]
