But I've found that chewing regular old gum works best for me. Whenever I have a craving, I just pop in a piece of gum. I used to always smoke after meals, whenever I was in the car. So as soon as I'm done eating, I pop a piece of gum. Before I get in the car, I pop a piece of gum. It's been 10 months since my last smoke, and not gonna lie, I still get cravings. But I just try to keep myself busy. I find that if I'm sitting around bored, I crave them more.<br><b>References : </b><br> No matter what you do, it's not going to be easy.

I am told that nicotine gum is good because you are still getting the "fix" without doing the damage to your lungs. Try and change your trigger habits that you list, i.e. water or dandelion and burdock instead of coffee. It is good to find a hobby that keeps your fingers occupied, crocheting or knitting excellent if you like doing them, embroidery would also require a bit of concentration. What about music, getting a little electric keyboard? Painting with chalks, this is wonderful as you can push the chalk with your fingers to create shadows, and shades of colour and afterwards spray your work with some hair lacquer which keeps it in place? Jigsaw puzzles have a knack of making time pass whilst you are absorbed, do some Small ones or if you have the space a large one, these can be addictive in their own right, and maybe get one of those "things" on which you can roll up a puzzle that isn't completed, if you need the table space for something else. Listen to your lungs thanking you for the nice clean air, don't listen to your lungs moaning for a cigarette!. Tell your lungs you are doing it for their good and to support you. Good luck.<br><b>References : </b><br> Seek professional help if it is available where you live.
