Subject: RE: BS: another no smoking thread
Morti .....sorry I didn't get to this sooner but I've just got back from Whitby.
I'm still off the cigs and it's well over 2 years. There are still days when I have the urge to smoke but it doesn't really bother me all that much.
Everyone finds their own road to success but here are a few tips I've found useful ...........


Change your routine ,... particularly after meals
Try sugar free chewing gum
Sit on your hands when you start to get twitchy
Keep a glass of iced water handy and sip it (I use ice-lollies as a treat)
Have small things like grapes, celery pieces and carrot sticks in the fridge.
Avoid alcohol if (like me) you know it lowers your resistance
Don't worry if you start to put on weight (you are going to be more attractive anyway, with better skin and hair)
Don't try to deny your low moments ....I found that having a real good moan here on Mudcat always put me on the right path again.

I couldn't have been successful without the support of all these lovely people here. Thanks again folks

Good Luck to everyone who's trying
