    Hey all

    Been smoking for almost 5 years and I figured id give up, going on day 3 and patchs are my weapon of choice.

    Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone could advise me on activities to keep my mind off them. Every couple of hours, craving kicks in and I need to find something to take my mind off them. So far ive been chewing gum and walking which kinda help, but I need more ideas

    Thanks

    I found deep focused breathing made the cravies go away.

    I think the reason the green tea makes me forget about my cravings is because I don't particularly like green tea and I'm too busy giving out about the cup of Sh*t that I'm drinking to even think about cigarettes. Plus it makes me feel like I'm trying to be healthy!

    You will find that after a while you will start to enjoy the green tea :pac: try a bit of honey in it
