my methods for staying quit
Even though I have been quit for quite a while now, this morning I woke up and got a craving to smoke. It was very strong, and I even considered having just one. But then I thought that through, knowing that having just one would lead to having just 2 or 3 or more, and possibly a whole packet of cigarettes. I drank some pineapple juice instead, trying to breathe through the craving with several deep breaths. It lasted for several hours on and off, the craving, but I am so determined to stay quit. I keep saying to myself "I don't need them", and it's true, I don't. No-one actually needs them. For myself, I find keeping busy and getting involved in things I enjoy, is enough to ward off any left over desire to smoke. But this particular craving came quite close. Yet now I've warded it off, I feel stronger, and I know I have the strength and resilience to cope with any further cravings. The smokes I used to have in the mornings were my weakest point.
Way to go Cuba. Use all the tools you have been given and you will prevail. Keep up the good work and positivity. We are stronger than nicotine and we can control our thoughts. Never debate , you have already decided to move on!
Has anyone else had trouble signing in? I finally got in by changing my password and find that I have to do it every time. While I am happy to be able to comment on the pages, I am not able to Publish a Story to bring this matter to administations attention. Could someone perhaps do so for me? Simply copy this that I have written under your story with a title Attention Admin.....trouble loggin in and publishing. Thank you. I hope this might enable other having difficulty to regain access. I am not in Australia and that might be a part of the problem. I would be glad to hear from others

Apparently old links to saved in my e-mail don't work. I have to try signing in and proceed tto change password. It is possibly time sensitive. I also noticed in read "your accoundt has been blocked" yet here I am. I hope this issue will be resolved for myself and others.
