You've been rewarding yourself 20x a day so you need to find another outlet until you break that mind set. Oh, if you want to be 100% successful kick drinking for the first few months because you won't last if you don't.  |
Me = smoker 24 years , 2 packs a day
My last smoke was literlly 5 minutes before I went climbed onto the bed for surgery (colon cancer) I woke up wareing a patch and they alternated arm's for the next week. I actually "forgot" I was a smoker while I was in the hospital. At home, I wore the patch for a few more days but basicly, I feel more like I went cold turkey.
HOWEVER ,, 2 years later, I still crave and I even still consider myself a "smoker". I still step outside after a meal (and just stand there) I still go back to whereever I just was because I forgot my smokes (I'll move things looking for my lighter) I have even bought smokes ! All my old routines, I still have.
The tabacky really has a hold of me, and I just can't seem to shake it.
I say.. (as a cancer survivor) if you don't have health concerns, keep smoking.
