I used a trick my Mom used for overeating , she always watches a movie at night and eats a bucket of popcorn, to stop the pop corn she had to stop the movies.. I had to change my habits that went hand in hand with smoking

Great tips Lemontwist and Working On It and Whisper..Thanks for sharing them..I was running out of ideas..

Doing the jigsaw puzzles really does take my mind off the craves and so do the long walks outside and reading of course.

I am not crazy about knitting but I do crochet. One of my own favorites is gardening when the weather permits...Thats about it..

Well back to working on my third jigsaw puzzle and of course my crocheted afghan which is getting Really Big..

Have a great smoke free weekend Everyone..

Thanks

Hmmmm now let me see...... Reading, I love to read, especially this forum and all the wonderful posts from past and present quitters. Listening to music, and if I am feeling energetic (which seems to be all the time since stopping smoking) dancing to the music. Singing, not very well...but it's good enough to scare the stray cats away

Taking long walks, this is one that my dog also enjoys too. Baking and trying out new and exciting recipes.

Ooooh and I did try knitting in the first few days of my quit. I've never knitted before, so wasn't sure what I was doing, come to think of it I don't even know what I was trying to knit. Didn't work out to well but it did take my mind of the early day cravings and kept my hands busy too.

Hope everyone doing well and staying strong.

If you don't frustrate too easily, jigsaw puzzles are great. They keep your mind busy and also it's something to do with your hands.

For quitters, boredom often is a trigger. This trigger may have a physical or chemical basis or both. As a quitter, you may miss the increased excitement and good feeling that nicotine gave you. Many events may make you feel bored, like taking a break from work, winding down after a big meal, having a leisurely Sunday morning. If boredom is a trigger for you, it’s important to find ways to fill your time.

Members, do you have any suggestions/tips on how to fill up time?
