Doodle, work on a hobby, take a shower, write a letter or do a crossword puzzle. Alter your routines so that certain activities are no longer associated with smoking. This can include moving your television or reading your newspaper in a different place than usual. Phone your friends when the urge to smoke gets strong. They can talk you through the craving and remind you how determined you were on Q-Day.
Withdrawal means recovery.
You may be one of the lucky smokers who don't go through withdrawal, or you may experience only a few symptoms. The good news is that withdrawal symptoms are temporary, usually lasting only one to three weeks. Once they pass, you'll never have to deal with them again. Now you have a new habit - not smoking. Like any other habit, it wasn't acquired overnight, and takes time and practice.
