Hi and welcome mj~
Sounds like you are off to good start. :) Good for U!
Here's a few helpful hints.
[b]Avoid[/b]- people and places where you are tempted to smoke. Later on you will be able to handle these with more confidence.
[b]Alter[/b]- your habits. Switch to juices, tea or water instead of alcohol (or for some coffee.) Take a different route to work. Take a brisk walk instead of a smoke break.
[b]Alternatives[/b]- Use oral substitutes such as sugarless gum or hard candy, a straw, raw vegetables or sunflower seeds.
[b]Activities[/b]- Exercise or do hobbies that keep your hands busy and that can help distract you should you begin to get the urge to smoke.
Stay strong. Live long.
