Day 23: May 6, 2007 and Today's TIP

It is Sunday. Sunny, a little cool, a great day for riding. I'm on my way to being Nicotine Free for yet another day.

I'm feeling good. I have made a few adjustments to my bike and the route. Definitely more of a work out now.

Today's TIP:

I usually have a mint or gum with me since they are easy to carry. I usually take a mint two or three times a day to keep my blood sugar slightly elevated. They give me fresher breath too. I take the mints to help PREVENT a craving. They are not my craving substitutes or Nicotine Replacment Candies.

As mentioned earlier, focus on the Distraction Actions - Keep your mind off of cigarettes and Nicotine. It just may be that the day has arrived where I do not think about having a cigarette as soon as I wake up! It's not just a coincidence.

Until tomorrow! nicotinequench@inbox.com
