Hey moms I’m new on this app. I need y’all advice. I’ve been smoking cigarettes for 9 years and been…

My grandma who smoked for 45 years quit in the beginning of this year, what helped her was regular chewing gum to keep her mouth busy, phone games to keep her fingers occupied, snacking on seeds and nuts, and doing puzzle books.

Quitting cold turkey was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. It takes so much willpower and determination. When I start getting that urge I just have to remind myself that my baby girl is so much more important to me than a smoke. It helps to switch activities when you start thinking about it, too. Kind of distracts you just enough to get it off your mind. Going on 8 months without a single cigarette and it still hard sometimes. Just hang in there, girl! You can do it! 👏🏼

@katyejordyn, thank you girl!! Ive been trying carrots and celery and just eating gum. I’m glad you know what I’m talking about, no one in my family smokes. Thank you for sharing with me

@damiensmommy1117, thank you for your input. I’m definitely going to buy some puzzles. 😀

Keep busy and chew gum suck on mints or something of that sort and keep your hands busy puzzles word search playing video games or on your phone and avoid as much as you can that you usually smoke doing or smoking right after and don’t go around people that smoke for as long as you can it is very hard to quit but it is totally worth it!!!:)

Thank you ladies!! I really appreciate y’all advice and encouragement. It really means a lot me. It’s all about taking one day at a time. ❤️

I vaped I know it’s habit for habit but I got low nicotine and then eventually just stopped

My last pregnancy the dr told me I could smoke 3 a day (cold turkey would be awesome if I could) then when I went back he said ok now only 1 a day and then when I went back I could only have 1 occasionally and then the next time none.... so I tried to that with this one and it was so hard! 😩I feel terrible that I smoked so long with her but I have quit now and I’m so happy I did! Just wish I would’ve sooner!

@lesleyandjustinsimpson, I completely understand it’s sooo hard to quit. I just wish I never started smoking so this it wouldn’t have been so hard.
