Serenity2,
Welcome to the SSC and congratulations on deciding to quit!
Quitting is hard and preparation is key so please take advantage of our program.
Start thinking of your routine. When did you smoke? Why? Where were you? Who were you with? Then start to make a plan that get around all those triggers.
Start thinking about how you will modify your daily routines. Ex: You use to have coffee and a cigarette. Now you will have coffee and a newspaper?
Start dreaming up a reward system. This is the best part of your quit!
In general, it should have three components. You should get a reward for overcoming cravings, a bigger reward for every smoke free day accomplished and an even bigger reward for every smoke free week and milestone.
Be kind to yourself this week! Do anything and everything that will make you feel better. Take a nap, a long bath, order in, go out and have fun... whatever gets you through the day.
Keep us posted,
Danielle
