Yes doing something that I enjoy does help in my crave basket..If exercise works for you great, if not find what does?..Exercise is just a suggestion..The options are limitless. Candy, raw vegetables, a nap, visiting with friends, a movie, a walk at the mall, a country drive, reading, hobbies, gardening, prayer, writing, crosswords, word finds, etc etc etc..Just start a crave basket and see where it goes..
Smoking is not just about craves it is something I used to do. My son told me this yesterday after a year of being nicotine free that he didn't really have craves anymore but he missed the nicotine sometimes..It was something he used to do. Sometimes just to pass the time..I could so relate to his words of wisdom and his advice. He said to remember that you will have times when you will get craves or you may just miss smoking because it is something you used to do. This person used multiple forms of nicotine..Gum, patch, cigarettes, chew. Not all at once but as a means to quit one form or another of nicotine addiction..I am so glad my son quit and is sharing his experience with me..
Sharing is such a important part of helping yourself and others quit and stay quit..
This is my little word of advice that I want to share today..
