... Any advice anyone may have I would graciously accept!
Welcome to the ECF Maddog. That 1st Week can be Tough. No Doubt about it.
Here are some things that Help Me when I Quit...
Drink More Water.
Do more PT than usual.
Try not to Drink Alcohol.
Stay Busy with Hobbies or Jobs around the House
Try to Break the Routines you used to have when you Smoked.
That Last one can seem Trivial. But it can be Very Powerful. Because a Huge Part of Smoking is Mental Routine.
So say you always lighted a Cigarette when you get in your Car to go someplace. Next time get in your Car, Start the Engine, then get out of you car and walk around it once like you are checking the Lights or something.
Or if you Always had a Cigarette after Dinner, finish Diner but immediately walk outside to the Mail Box or down to the Corner and Back.
Anywhere you Always had a Cigarette, or things that would Trigger you to have a Cigarette, find a way to Break the Routine. And Do them Differently.
You can Make It. But Your Need to Quit Smoking has to be Greater than your Desire to Smoke. So just Focus on Today. And Tackle Tomorrow when it gets here.
