Aghhhh
I’ve stopped to today, I’ve not had one since last night. My smoking had crept up to 20 a day, bloody awful and expensive..
My cravings come in waves, I’m riding them out by keeping busy!! But I’ve realised I reward myself with most things by smoking!
How long does this last??
When does that devil on my shoulder giving me reasons why I’m ok to smoke go away??
Any tips?

My AIBU?
Shall I just stop after lock down?? Or just get on with it and ride the storm, if I can stop smoking now, I have a better chance of staying of them?

Whenever you feel a craving, stop and take 3 really deep breaths. It’s genuinely amazing how much better this makes you feel and gives you a bit of a high like the first few drags of a fag.

(I used to smoke 20/day am now confirmed non-smoker of 3 years.)

@Ifonly4today know I’ve slipped now - but that’s what I did - would have worked if not for lockdown
