weekends are the worst
I've been trying to quit since around Christmas time. The last two weeks have been my most successful ... 7 am Jan19 to noon Jan 24 ... noon Jan 25 to 100 pm Jan 31. Both slips have occurred on a Saturday despite trying to keep busy ... being at work Monday to Friday, it is much easier to avoid thinking about smoking. I will reset again today at noon, but I am already afraid of next weekend and the possibility of just saying to hell with it and go back to smoking full time.

Focus on the feeling that you don't need to smoke, and that smoking doesn't 'own' you.
9 years ago #Weekends are definitely the hardest -- I definitely hear that. They do get easier though over time -- this last weekend I barely thought about it. The first couple weekends, I obsessed. . Kell is right about keeping busy. Activities with friends, drinking tons of water, chewing spits -- that's how I beat the weekend cravings. Oh and staying clear from the bar! I've really eased up on the drinking these last few weeks. I drink I almost always smoke, so I've taken a breather. Hope that helps!
