Stories & experiences

Cheers to your 135 smoke free milestone Andrew666. In reading your history I read a comment that I had missed and found interesting. I have mentioned in the past that we miss those dopamine hits that we experienced when smoking and ways to replace these hits with new ones by doing things we enjoy, eating chocolate, smelling lavendar etc. Sal recommended sucking on Vitamin C or a drop of lemon juice on the tongue to produce dopamine. While searching to read more I did find on the 10 Best Ways to Raise Dopamine Levels Naturally, so I thought it might help you and others to learn more.

Sorry, but for some reason this writes a little of what I found but does not take you to the article itself. That said, dopamine affects your mood and being happy about our decision to quit smoking and to forge ahead is made easier with positive thinking. Learning how to replace this "Good Feeling" may help overall.

good luck to your journey, it is not easy, that's why it's worthy.. Keep going you're doing well..
