Smoking and The Computer!

[mummyloves]

Does anyone have the same problem? I try to find other "activities" to stop me sitting bored and reaching for the fags. Since I've joined mumsnet I find I can sit at the computer and light up one after the other! It's become another "telephone", you know that link between chatting on the phone and smoking? I bought the patches today and am starting in the morning, but this mumsnet, brilliant as it is, has given me one big cough! Anyone else got the same problem?

I used to smoke and had the same problem. picking on grapes or popcorn helped me.

I gave up a year ago and really dont think that I will ever smoke again - I used patches too. You can do it, good for you.

haven't got any grapes or popcorn at the moment, can I have my last night of killing myself, or should I go for the biscuit barrel!

It's just (haha!) habit. I used to think I would never go to the pub/stand at a bus stop/have a coffee in a coffee shop/talk on the phone/read a magazine/get out of bed (yeaaaccck!)/have sex ever again without having a cigarette.

I did! Well....maybe not the sex one...

If you want some moral support theres a thread here full of quitters! Come and introduce yourself!

I used to have that problem before I gave up! I second Charliecat, come and join us on the quitters' thread, and get yourself a quitting counter for your desktop (see on the quitters' thread for a link), it's really really helpful.
