That 40 second craving

A friend of mine just posted on my timeline.  Cravings only last 40 seconds so when you get a craving go and find something else to do for 3 minutes and the cravings will pass.  I really like this idea and it worked well yesterday.  Went outside and pruned a tree around the chook shed.  She has been smoke free for 12 years now, more incentive for me to continue on this journey, difficult at times and with health issues but I will make it.  Take care everyone, you can do it xoxoxo  :-)

For the first few days those 40 second craves come every 30 seconds :) hahahaha but the gap between them gets bigger and bigger every day - then those 40 seconds become 10 seconds with a few hours between.

I thought quitting smoking would be the death of me but by changing my mind set and just doing it, its become the best thing i ever did

Good going Suze, that is exactly it, to distract yourself away from the cravings. Keep up the good work.
