Right before going to work, and on the way to work is very tough.

17 years ago 0 +0 / -0 984

I think it would just be easiest to quit your job. ;) Ok, that's not an option, so here's what I did - just get more sleep in the morning. I thought I'd really miss the 'relax before work' thing, but now just don't need to get up that extra 30 minutes earlier, I use it for the snooze button and relax under the warm covers. It's not a bad alternative! x T [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 320 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,360 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �1,760.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 26 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

Hi Tresa of Oregon! Hope you are having a great weekend! We are having a birthday party for my youngest daughter who is turning 10. I told her to please just stay 9, but she's not buying that! It will be so nice to enjoy the party without thinking about when I can have my next smoke!

How about popping on here and start a morning thread. Make that your new habit. Watch the news, feed the birds, sleep later, run the sweeper....You can do this!

Try buying your favorite magazine or have the newspaper delivered and read that over coffee. You will be surprised how fast the time fly's when your into a good article.

Spark -- This was a really tough one for me also and I don't have a good solution. I tried gum, water, etc. and nothing really worked for me. I think it's just a matter of driving in enough days without smoking that not having it in the car starts to become "normal" (whatever that is!). I went through several weeks during which the mornings really bothered me and I felt like it started my day off in a bad mood. Thankfully, I don't feel that way anymore. There are plenty of other triggers, but that one has diminished. Just keep stringing those non-smoking mornings together and one day (who knows which), one of the mornings won't seem as bad. Congratulations on your 30 days.

I found if I pop a piece of mint gum in my mouth as soon as I start to drive that helps me.
