Any advice??

Question

What has helped you stop craving a cigarette? I was a smoker before my pregnancy and I have quit since I found out but I still crave a smoke all the time. Any tips on how to make it easier? I have been on the struggle bus with this for a while now.

Answer

I’m not a smoker, but my dad has “quit” several times and he has said that the key is identifying the “rituals”. Some people smoke first thing in the morning, or after each meal, or when they feel stressed. Take an honest look at the times you’d usually smoke, then replace those things with a new ritual. If it was first thing in the morning, start sitting outside and listening to a podcast with some iced coffee instead... or whatever you’d find enjoyable during that time. Find yourself a replacement for each time of day, something you GENUINELY enjoy. Maybe after each meal, you work on your baby registry? Anything to replace the pattern and make you feel de-stressed and like you genuinely look forward to it.

Answer

I’m struggling too.m, although I’ve found that the smell of it makes me quite nauseous now. It was such a habit at work to break up my day, so now I find going for short walks really makes a huge difference for me and drinking fruit tea has also helped me a lot . Stay strong ✊

Answer

I smoked for 20 years and did the Allen Carr easyway last year. It's really all a mind set. Read the book, download the audio book or attend a seminar. It really helped me.

Answer

I smoked a pack and a half for 5 1/2 years but as soon as I found out I was pregnant I threw my pack away, cause we’ve been TTC for so many years! The craving is still there though, my husband still smokes so when we comes in from smoking I’ll smell him sometimes but for the most part I chew gum and it really helps!

Answer

I’m having the same problem. I can’t even stop. I’m still having 2-3 a day

Answer
