Have you tried the vapor cigs yet?

Give yourself time. I'm sure the creative juices will flow again.

I agree with Steph. Give it some time. This process might go a little easier if you aren't flogging yourself the whole way, too. You're doing something that is really, really super hard. If it was easy, everyone would do it, and you'd have done it years ago. I know that addiction is different for everyone and everyone has their own process for beating it, so maybe this self-flogging thing is helping you, I don't know. If it isn't, try having some compassion for yourself.

Bite valve water bottle and lots of wandering around works for me. Also munching the end of my pens which is gross but I can't be bothered breaking myself of! Hang in there, the must will come back! Hugs Bels

Thinking back to when I quit smoking -- Obviously I smoked more cigarettes in a day than I drank cups of coffee -- but every time I had a cup of coffee I would light up a cigarette. I did two to three packs of Camels a day (usually closer to three than two) and probably ten cups of coffee. When I finally quit smoking (Halloween of 1980) I had to make a drastic reduction in coffee because having a cup of coffee without a cigarette was tough. I would have one cup at home in the morning and then one at work around mid-morning. (I now consume lots of coffee all morning & afternoon, but generally do not drink coffee in the evening.) In my smoking days, I wrote either on paper (loved legal pads) or on a manual typewriter. After quitting smoking, I switched to computers (wrote my master's thesis in 1982/83 using a mainframe as a word processor and bought my first home computer (a DOS machine) about four years later.... so I don't really have a connection between writing on a computer and smoking. (Of course I've now been a non-smoker for more years than I was a smoker -- it's been a long time since I had one of those dreams about smoking.)

How about moving around your office writing space? Change the desk to face a different window? Move things around to break up the old habits? Put up a beautiful picture to stare at to get your creative thoughts moving? You are much more than a stinky cigarette....
