Stopped Smoking

Norman_Castle

When I stopped smoking I didn't talk about it at all. If anyone asked I told them I didn't want to talk about it. If you're talking about smoking you're thinking about smoking. Nobody asks a non smoker why they're not smoking.
It worked for me. Non smoker, 15 years.

I know exactly what you mean NC, my oh is like that, he seems to have the ability not to thing about it, AT ALL, he doesn't realies how lucky he is.


My question is]
Is it the 'thinking about it' that brings on the cravings, or is it the cravings that brings on the thinking about it.


It really is a case of thinking about other things, distraction is the major word, but you really have to work at it x

Sorry would love to be able to help but can't. I'm very much a nicotine addict and have no probs with that and I don't think I have anything helpful to contribute but others might. Don't want to confuse

But best of luck. Sure you can do it....

Tis not going down (or craving the nic) that is the crime but staying down (staying on cigs till you die)
