[QUOTE="april1974, post: 437035, member: 12128"] Shell you can do this, when I quit smoking is when I really really needed my smokes, daughter was a teen and pulling off tonnes of teenage drama and we were dealing with infertility, I was so stressed, BUT.....it's a mind game and one I decided I would win. Here's what helped me(I quit cold turkey since I didn't want to do the patch and spend money on drugs/gums etc I have a stuborn streak, and after 3 days the nicotene is gone so it's all in your mind) anyways here's a craving for me: I would think "I need a smoke, I REALLY REALLY need NEED a smoke, why shouldn't I smoke, it's my enjoyment, blah, blah, blah, NO YOU DO NOT NEED a smoke,.....ok brain here it goes..If I were to light up right now it would take me 10 minutes to finish a ciggy...so for 10 min I"m going to xyz(read,computer,housework,crochet,phone someone)" then when the 10 minutes passed I would tell myself "see, you would be butting out now and look you survived without actually having a dirty gross cancer stick, you can do this body, we can beat this addiction because it's a choice not an addiction!" Self talk, it works. [/QUOTE]
