Keeping our hands busy.
If left to their own devices, do they wander off and cause mischief in the neighbour’s garden or something. Do you find them watching cheap TV or tormenting the cat?How did smoking keep our hands busy? Holding a fag is not exactly stimulating for them and the lighting and extinguishing is hardly a complex task.The smoking itself, especially for us seasoned veterans is an incredibly dull experience of simply breathing smoke in and out and to think it made us less bored is a bit embarrassing.When we’re busy smoking just gets in the way. It becomes annoying and disruptive but as smokers we’ve got to do it at some point during the day. Therefore we choose to do it when we’re least occupied, when we’re bored and then the association begins.Now, as quitters, we realise that those moments when we’re unoccupied don’t seem to have a point and we’re reluctant to be seen doing nothing so we now need to find something to do to stop those unruly hands amusing themselves despite the obvious that the hands didn’t really get involved much in smoking anyway.Personally I’d recommend giving shadow puppets a go?
