Funny, you don't realise just how persuasive the habit of smoking is until you really start to observe it consciously.
What I found today
It's the little things that will catch you out if your not paying attention to them. A familiar routine, a location or a certain task can almost make you subconsciously reach for a cigarette if you don't catch it.
The problem
 |
| Before... way to easy too slip up |
Yesterday I sat out in my normal smoking area for a couple of hours without any problems, probably because I was full of determination.
However, this morning I found myself reaching for the cigarettes instead of the vape. I caught myself each time and vaped instead but it could have gone the other why quite easily.
How to beat this
So my advice is this.... If you have an area where you normally smoke and for some reason you still want to use it, try to remove anything that will tempt your subconscious mind.

| After.... no temptation |
That is what I did this morning and it made a lot of difference. I managed to control the unconscious habit and cleaned up the back outside area too.
Today's Summary
Total cigarette count today will be 9... sounds bad but I will have been awake for nearly 18 hours by the time I go to bed.
All in all, not a bad day... tomorrow will be better and I will share what I am vaping with on here for you.
Cheers, Ian 😊
