So it’s been 3 weeks now being a non smoker, and I had a one evening relapse when we had a large family birthday party. I had alcohol during the party, and I was excited because everyone was there. I smoked about 5 cigarettes that evening, and felt gross the next day with the mild hangover and worse, the CIGARETTE hangover. Nothing I hate more than a disgusting smoker’s hangover – yech!!
So I know now that I have two definite triggers that cause such a massive craving, I’m almost helpless in the face of a cigarette. One is coffee, and the other is alcohol and group socializing. So it’s really simple right? Don’t drink alcohol in excess of two drinks and avoid coffee all together. Sounds simple does it not? Well, it’s not.
Another thing I’ve noticed is the effect of Goji berry and fruit drinks. As well as that, I’ve noticed a difference between drinking Zrii every day, and drinking Goji berry mixtures.
By far, the Goji berries WORKED FAR BETTER than drinking Zrii, or Acai berry juice. I’ve tried both now, and I can tell you that mixing real Goji berries in a blender with some blueberries, a banana, and some milk and orange juice will help you curb your cravings for cigarettes and food. I was losing weight when I had the Goji berry blender drinks every day. When I ran out of Goji berries, I felt much worse. I was tired more, felt aches and pains more, and had less fight in me to stop smoking all together.
The relapse I had really bummed me out because I had done well staying off the cigs for 2 weeks. Really bummed me out, and I could feel discomfort in my chest again the next morning. Gross!
So I ordered a big bag (cheap too) of Goji berries which I’m still waiting for, and I have not smoked again since the relapse. I’ll drink this Zrii until the Goji berries arrive.
