WTG!!! Keep your hands and mind busy, busy, busy!!!
Get a plan in place for when you feel you can't resist one more second.
Get gum....sugarless candy......play games on your phone or computer.....stay away from areas you use to smoke at.......watch a funny movie or tv show!!!!! Do anything but give into the nicodemon!!!!
Keep a positive attitude.....You CAN do this!!!!
