SMOKERS... LETS KICK the HABIT!!

[midwest chick]

Ok, was doing great for a while, now I'm back up there to about a pack a day. on days off. This is really important, I am getting little lines around my lips, and that is NOT acceptable...

What's working? E-smokes? Lozenges work for me at work, not so much at home, though. What to do while driving, or riding in the car, that's a big one, because I ALWAYS smoke while driving. What about after eating? Thinking my whole routine needs to completely change!

Haven't smoked in the house in years, so that is not a trigger. Take the dog out every morning while coffee is brewing...that's a big trigger, but he does need to go, lol.

Suggestions welcome---where the heck is Dapper? Hy always has a list of stuff!

Hey, buddy. I was thinking about you the last couple of days after this thread came back to life, but I was afraid to ask...

Things I did:

*Stopped drinking coffee and drank hot tea instead

*Stopped drinking beer

*Avoided italian foods for a while (tomato based foods), as this is what kicked off my "after cig delight" the most.

*Bought a bunch of those red skinny coffee stir straws (not the ones that are half closed, but instead look like regular straws, just skinnier...softer than the half closed ones...sorry, don't know how us to explain it). Cut them down to like 3 inches. Always had one in my mouth. Would chew on them.

You had gotten to a point where you were only having a couple a day. Can you go back to doing whatever it is you did then to get there?

*How about a mint after eating? The taste of a mint has never fueled me to want a cig like eating did.

Ok, that is my list!

Get your ass back in gear, woman!
