oh, no, time will just drive you crazy. forget time.

instead, breathe deeply as if you were taking a deep drag from your smoke, only, do it with air.

that will take care of the craving, lessen the anxiety, and deal with the pavlovian conditioning. i believe that some times when we smoke to get calm what we want to do is take a deep breath & we "pervert" it with smoke. if you remove the smoke from the equation you still get the calming breath & the satisfaction of deep oxygen.

i swear, that's how i quit. give it a try. clocks are just crazymakers.
