Hi Deb
Congratulations on your decision to quit
It is a thrilling rollercoaster ride! It's challenging, but empowering. So prepare yourself as much as you can! It is easier to defeat your enemy if you know it!. Learn about your triggers. So you can be prepared when a craving or smoking tought arrives. The good thing is that you have to defeat jus tone craving or smoking tought at a time!
This process gets easier as time goes by. The first two weeks are the hardest, but If we can do it, you can do it too!!
Have a rewards system ready! Sourround yourself by quitting aids like iced water, low cal snack like celery and carrot stick. Relaxing music, hot showers, enough sleep, fruit juices, hard cany, popsicles, something to get your hands busy, like a sudoku puzzle or a stress ball.
MM and Rock always recommend to change your routine, because we associate cigarrettes with our daily routine. Plan ahead: If you smoked in the car, take something to keep your hand busy while you drive, a straw cut the size of a cigarrette helps!
The Allen Carr Book is great too!
But above all, have no soubts about your decision. Make it a nonnegotiable decision!!
Congratulations
