Yes that's exactly what I'm trying to do.. Hang tough !
As I said earlier in a post, I made up a list of FREE distractions
which are geared just for me ;)
It's all good and fine to keep busy, physically and emotionally with
daily chores etc etc but the void really (I find) needs to be filled
and fulfilled by things which please me on all levels.
I went to the dollar store and picked up a dozen scented candles and
in my mom sent me 2 novels, a friend sent me a 1/2 dozen dvd's and
no matter what the weather, I get out for at least one walk a day.
I'm adding to my personal list every day and it is really helping me
a lot.
I've now passed my 3rd week as a non smoker and I'm very pleased
with myself. I keep my guard up at all times and never take it for
granted because I know that at any time I could be hit with a bad
feeling re the void, the cravings may hit or I could go through a
particularly tough time with an everyday 'crisis'... Either way a
cig won't solve the situation.
Well it's a blustery day with lots of snow, cold and strong winds
out there...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! I will wait until daylight arrives,
put on my winter gear and brave the cold Canadian weather ! LOL !
We Canadians are a hearty lot.. hehehe ! ! !
Have a great smoke free Sunday :)
