Quitting Smoking Diary at 2:01 pm
While in the supermarket this morning I was looking at the boiled sweets and saw mini sugar free lollipops. What a great buy! I was really gagging for a smoke so as soon as they had been paid for they were opened and one unceremoniously stuck in my mouth. What a god send! Not only are they boiled sweets, but they are also sticks/straws which can be chewed on and they can also be waved about quite happily if you need something to do with your hands.
I’ve still not caved in and given up, and I’m totally determined to stick at it no matter how hard it gets.
I think though now my body is realizing that there is something going on, so the next 24-36 hours are going to be my body complaining as well as my mind complaining which is what it has been so far.

I always laughed at people who said that they used a straw when stopping smoking. It turns out that it’s a great idea! Suck a straw and use a lozenge at the same time. It’s not a bad combination. Of course I’m not planning on using a straw for long because it does look rather silly. Saying that though it might be a good thing to use when I’m on a long journey as driving without a smoke is going to be probably the hardest part.
I’ve not broken yet and given in though. I reckon if I can make it for a week then I should be able to stick at it this time instead of giving up like I did last time I tried.
