Smoking Revisited

I too am a fan of smoking that has quit for the surgery a month ago and had a few slips. If coffee urges you to smoke than do away with it Maybe try just some ho****er plain or with lemon. For me I've been taking chantix and that as help some but i do think of smoking all the time. I chewing gum it does help me try some sucker or anything you can suck on for a while, some knitting or cross word puzzles, word searches.  I just try and keep my self busy some days i feel like i better not even get out of bed that way i won't smoke some antidepressants are known to help with calming the nerves when try to quit smoking. Oh I've also done sun flower seeds. My lastest thing to do is pride myself on me time  taking time for a hot bath then lotion up from head to toe .spending more time on my nails trying different hair styles even spending more time on line....
Hope some of this helps and know there is some else going through the same feeling as you. I've been a full time smoker and even proud of it for 28 years so i hear ya loud and clear...
Good Luck and take one minute at a time and remind yourself just don't light it up you can hold it all day if you want even sniff it but don't like it up. send your hubby out doors to smoke for a few weeks until your stronger.

Thank you so much for your advice Tina. Many of the things you mention I'm already doing, the others I will try. I tried Chantrix last year -- it didn't do a thing for me. The electronic cigarette is more helpful. Hubby's smoking doesn't bother me at all and I find that spending time on the computer is probably the best thing for me.

Me too I better off on-line then on the phone. I pick up the phone and find my self looking for a smoke. Maybe if you give chanix a second try it will work better can't hurt or make it worse.
I'm taking it now on my second month it doesn't seem to be the miracle i was hoping for me it does help some i was going to ask my doctor if maybe i needed a strong does cuz it didn't seem to all that great for me.lol But i haven't yet for i think it only comes in one dose...
