Thank you for the encouragement and advice :smiling_face:
I’ve just finished day 3 :partying_face:.
Weirdly, I thought I’d try a random distraction technique when I got a craving…rubbing my tummy and patting my head while counting. Counting on it’s own wasn’t enough, but this took enough concentration to distract me and I can do it whenever needed as well as if I don’t have energy to do much else. If it works, it works, right :joy:

By eating too much and telling myself I don’t want wrinkles around my mouth :joy::joy::joy: menthol sweets have been really helpful too.
The first 2 days were really rough with a lot of cravings and withdrawal but I am stubborn!!! I have a plan to use the money I save to pay for a leisure centre pass with a pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room…a much better use of my money :money_mouth_face::smiling_face:
