How about you adding these to your fish bowl. Light some scented candles. Have a glass of wine with your dinner. Take a nice warm bubble bath . Curl up with a good book one you've been wanting to read for a long time. Get the idea something for you. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 245 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 4,410 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2,450.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 55 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 53 [B]Seconds:[/B] 14

I just wanted to share with all of you something that was suggested to me to help get through the cravings and some rough spots. I have a fish bowl at work and at home. In it I put pieces of paper with suggestions on things to do to get past those tough times. Simple things for work like clean out junk from my desk, take a 10 min walk break, Take deep breaths while counting backwards, Wipe down my desk. At home I put in things that last longer to get past the boredom, take a walk, Clean my daughters room (that'll keep me busy for a year), clean the fridge etc.... Most of the papers have things to get me past the craving. Any time I have a strong urge I pick out a piece of paper and do what it says. By the time I'm done the urge is gone. I just thought this might help out for some. It's helped keep my Cuban temper in check and the tears to a minimum. My co-workers and daughter helped me fill the fish bowl with lots of ideas. Best wishes!!
