Members,

One of the many things that smokers report is that their smoking is habitual. They smoke in their car every morning, or just before bed.

What is needed is change.  In order to release one self from the habitual routine of smoking, quitters have to re-assess their daily routines.
 
Try tea, instead of coffee and a smoke in the morning

Play your favorite CD on the way to work and sing your heart out.

Use bedtime as relaxing time, and take a hot bath and read a good book.

Do a crossword puzzle or word search instead of watching T.V. at night.

Take a walk after dinner instead of focusing on your crave.

Many of these ideas are easy and workable. These distractions can assist you in every day tasks and make quitting less of a challenge.

Although it may take some time for you to adjust, it will get easier with time. It’s just a matter of breaking the habit.

Please take the time to share what has worked for you!
