Odd as it might sound, I had much less trouble with cravings once I started using a mountain bike for part of my commute to work. The cravings were much easier to get past after a good ride on the bike. Changing the diet can help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quit 40 years ago after ten years of steady smoking and have never gone back. I do remember how painful the withdrawal was but after a few weeks I began to have more energy and got better than I ever felt when smoking. The hard part was not to give into temptation and go back to smoking especially in all the old places where I smoked most. Just a small example..I would light up every time I made a phone call. So for some time I didn't make calls or simply asked someone else to do it. Sounds too simple but the thing is to get yourself out of the old habits which can make the impulse so strong. It may also help to talk face to face with a former smoker who is also a believer in the healing and deliverance power of Jesus, someone who will not make you feel condemned or a big sinner because you have been a smoker. Mainly pray, pray, pray. Christ in you will overcome this and then you can work out without losing breathing power. Face exercise gradually. I started walking and eventually learned to ski and took up serious mountain biking. I am convinced had I not quit when I did I wouldn't be here today since my relatives who smoked all had early deaths. My brother who has never smoked is 92 years old and doing well.
