Lifestyle changes

I think it's also hugely important to remember that when smoking friends tempt someone who's just quit smoking, 9 times out of 10 it's because they can't stand the fact that you were able to quit and they weren't.  They want you BACK.  Don't give in!

Members, 

When you’re trying to make lifestyle changes, temptations are the last thing that you need. Temptations can lead to triggers that may put you right back to where you started. Here are some tactics to cope with temptation:

1- Avoid tempting situations.
2- Ask your friends not to tempt you.
3- Minimize the tempting qualities.
4- When tempted, distract yourself.
5- When tempted, remind yourself of your goal.
6- Ask other people to remind you of your goal.

What do you do to cope with temptations?
