General Tips for Handling Craves


18 years ago 0 77 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Lets see... Walking, lots and lots of walking. Raining, snowing, wind storms.....walking. I avoid my husband when he is in a mood by walking too, just alone. Cleaning the house, all the time. Laundry, everything has been washed, twice or more. Pets, can't smoke while your wrestling with dog or loving on a cat or holding a bird. KIDS, for those who are blessed to have them, anything with the kids. Showers and bubble baths, I'm sooo pruney now. Anything you can't do while smoking.

General Tips for Handling Craves Please add to this list. Do remember: Try to avoid situations that may cause smoking triggers such as situations involving smoking buddies, alcohol, or social gatherings where smoking is taking place. Physical get up and leave the situation that is causing the smoking trigger. Distract yourself by chewing on a stick of gum or by brushing your teeth after a meal or use mouth wash. Change your daily routines by not sitting in that smoking chair, by finding a different room or place to have telephone conversations, by taking a different route while walking, or drinking from a bottle of water while driving. Think your way through a crave by reminding yourself that the crave will stop in seconds or minutes whether you light up or not. Remind yourself of all the money that are you are saving and what your plans are for it. Write up a list of reasons why you are quitting, and stick them on your bathroom mirror, regenerator, etc. Exhale fully, breath in deeply for three seconds, hold breath for thee seconds, exhale slowly for six seconds. Repeat a few times. Focus on others things, do not dwell.
