Hi Ashok

I know how you feel, I too tend to do it easy during the week and struggle during the weekend. I reckon it's because we tend to relax a little on the weekends and that little monster in our brains gets it's opportunity to work on getting us back onto the smoke train, the only thing I can do to keep him at bay is to focus my attention on something else, for eg my wife found me using the vacuum the other day, what a shock, normally i'd get the broom out but I did something different and that helped me get through the cravings. doesn't sound like much but it worked for me. All the best and stay strong, you deserve to have good health.

Hey Ashok..

You need to keep yourself busy, find something to distract yourself.

We are learning to be non smokers, so you need to find some-thing that works for you..

Good luck and all the best xx

Hey yes ,weekend is the time when you relax and in the past you had a smoke , so it is a vulnerable time, I'd try to distract yourself as much as possible, find something fun to do. good luck keep posting
