Thank you Jo For all the up dates we have all been following . Yeah now comes the hard part , Change ! . You find that he cant eat almost anything already perpared like soup's ,TV dinners all loaded with salt . They do have the healthy choice stuff. Salt is east to give up actually . you will not miss it.
As for quiting smoking ........uh not so easy. Hope fully he will take advantage of not smoking for the last 4 days. That is the hardest part of quiting ! the first few days . If he can run with this start he is on his way ! May never get a better chance to quit . I hope he can stay with it.
If not and he already burned one , well not the end of the world either . That will mean he is on day one again. Toss all smokes now . Out of site out of mind . For me I had to chew the gum for months . The gum was some help but might be dangours too. The best was to get Halls menthol's cherry or lemon . Those cough drops make it feel like you are taking a hit kind of helped me when you get the urges.
Good luck and God Bless see you at the circle
He is going to have urges . Weather he reacts to them or responds to them is the key . They will pass either way . Its difficult so many triggers to smoke . seeing someone light one up even in a movie will do it. Getting in to the car Is an other one . Point is don't react to the urge . get out the cough drops and make it through that urge . Make it just for one hour at a time until you put together one day at a time .
