    You can go for a walk to reduce stress. It helps and has become a habit. Keeps me fit and feeling good all the time. I will start jogging soon and will be part of my lifestyle now and in the future. You won't want to smoke again after this.

    Hi Rogannie, after many goes to stop smoking, this time I do not count the days I tiopped ( 28 days) because you did not count the days you did smoke. I use 1/2 a nicorette gum to get me over the biggest craving (stress) and tell my slf tht no matter how manyu cigarettes I would smoke the stress (shit) would be still the same. Just stay with it, you can do it and it is worth it BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.:)

    Hi Rogannie - I am only on day 17 but the few times that I have been really pushed to the edge of that smoke by stress, it has been those first few days after I stopped smoking that has stopped me these times, because I can think of nothing worse than having to go through that again. Maybe that will help - or even EAT. You can lose a couple of kilos later - it is better than losing your life. And I know - I also smoked for 35 years, 2 packs a day. Some days I really battle and other days are better. Still taking 1 day at a time. Good Luck and hang in there, you have come so far, don't fold now!!!
