What's a man to do my first day off the cigarettes and the cravings are driving me nuts I need a distraction

I used to make lemonade. Squeezing the lemons became a ritual like lighting up and gave me something to do with my hands. The sharpness of the lemon juice against the back of my throat became the replacement for the way the smoke used to catch. Plus vitamin C is good for you.
Go for a run, clean the house, read a book. 14 days to break a habit and if you break and smoke then you forgive yourself and go back to not smoking. I gave up 6 months ago but I've smoked about 5 times in that time period...i still consider myself a non smoker now though

@MushroomFaerie I did quit for a whole year once but at the time I was living with a smoker and the temptation got way to much for me and honestly I have the motivation of a promise I made to my Nephew
@Diesel95 oh that's really sweet. You can do it man, it's worth it

I have the added motivation of saving money for a trip to the phillipines to see a buddy of myne that I've been talking to online for near as makes no difference 9 years

@Originalkingfish See that is a bit of an issue right now on account of the fact that I can't swallow until I've had surgery

Did you quit 'cold turkey' ?
Diesel95 · 36-40, MVIP
@Picklebobble2 At one point it was about 30 a day but before today I managed to cut that In half

@Diesel95 That's why you're in trouble. You quit from too high an intake. So your body is screaming out for what it's expecting.
Kinda like going from Heroin to Methadone. It's a poor substitute.

@Picklebobble2 you need something that your brain can assimilate as an alternative.
hate to say this but i suspect you're about to get fat as you quit !
CHOCOLATE. Produces dopamine in the brain similar to the effect cigarettes have.

They sell those plastic fake cigarettes but with nicotine only.

@revenant I tried those once and for me they only made things worse I thought about those vapours but have been told that they are more addictive than the cigarettes

@Diesel95 I have never vapped but I use those plastic cigs and find them great especially for your hands and fidgeting.
