Things to do instead of smoking

[Chris4139]

I plan on quiting Sun or Mon when cigs are gone ,also reading that Allan Carr book,going to use patch,anyway before when I tried the hardest x's we're my break time ,lunch break ,* on the way home & after getting home. Was wondering what you did w/this extra time? It's getting cold so don't know if i'll walk much & bad knee , I do read my bible & love stories,any other ideas? Please pray for me also,my names Chris & have smoked 27 long years!

My employer finally wisened up and has offered as part of their benefit package 100% cost of a quit smoking program with 9 weeks of the patch, gum or the lozenge included AND weekly counselling fees for the first 5 weeks. Right now, I'm trying to make a mental list of how I am going to cope during the first few weeks of getting through the cravings--what am I going to do to keep my hands and my mind busy?? I'm seriously afraid of the anxiety.
