Hello everyone,
Being smoke free is a new normal and it takes some time adjusting to.... like quitfriend said, it's being able to picture yourself not smoking.... so many thoughts go through your mind, it takes time to relearn how to live a smoke free life and each day counts.
Slips are a normal part of the quitting process and they teach us, in this case, it seems like changing the way you view yourself as a non smoker will make a difference.
As brieffre said, preparing and thinking of ways to keep busy and distractions will help next time you are tempted to smoke. Or as atp said, thinking of reasons you don't want to smoke again (going through withdrawals, negative aspect of smoking) will also help.
All in all, take it One Day at a time and feel free to call us for support at 1-877-513-5333.
Whatever you do, don't quit quitting!
