The hypnosis app I'm using is called smoking kills quit smoking now. I never even hear what he says as it puts me to sleep pretty quick.
I'm finding when I have my coffee my cravings are screaming. Any tips? I've been using a stress ball or online blogging to keep my fingers busy but damn it's a battle.
Thanks again! Cheers

When I quit, I actually went to a class. They made a lot of good suggestions.
Vary your routine. Do not do things at the same time you did them before. Say if you take a shower in the morning. Switch up,and do it at night. I know when I was working I actually had to stop taking breaks because everyone smoked that worked there, and they all did it at the break table.
Keeping your hands busy is key. For oral fixation, chew on half a straw. Doesn't look any stranger than a toothpick in your mouth and you can chew the heck out if it.
People who used to criticize smokers would offer them a pacifier to remind them that cigarettes was basically that.
One thing I hated being told, but is true. If you really want to smoke, any excuse will do. So each time I was thinking I need a cigarette, I'm too angry/upset, I would think if that comment and it always stopped me.
Good luck!
