Starting From Day One
If the thought of quitting smoking makes your internal Home security system go off like a siren you’ve got to take it easy. It’s all about taking it one step at a time and if you’re thinking about starting day one, we’ve got some tips
Get a Buddy – Just like in AA, you’ve got to have a partner to share the struggles and the milestones. There are 1800 numbers to call if you’re feeling tempted but it’s better to have one of your friends at the ready to talk you down or take a walk.
Make a Reward Schedule – There have to be some things you want, so why not reward yourself for small wins? Every week you go without a cigarette you should get something special – a bag, a night out, whatever you want – to help keep you incentivized.
Throw Them All Out – Don’t make any plans with your smoker friends and throw every single cigarette you have away. Of course you can buy new ones but why tempt yourself with an old pack in the house?
