Break
the day into segments. |
 |
Concentrate on getting through a few hours
at a time. |
 |
Let your victories be small ones; they will
add up to the big one. |

 |
If coffee or alcohol means cigarettes,
avoid them at least temporarily. |
 |
Instead of lighting up after a meal,
leave the table as soon as you are finished. Try clearing the
dishes or taking a walk. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
If you're in an area where you
have an option, such as a restaurant, always make sure you
sit in a non-smoking section. |
 |
No matter where you are, try to avoid
people who are smoking. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
Try holding a pencil or rolling
a toothpick through your fingers |
 |
For oral gratification, keep a supply of carrots,
celery, or sugarless gum nearby. |
 |
Occupy your free time with activities that
do not allow you to hold a cigarette, such as exercise or
housework. |
|
|
| |
The urge to light up a cigarette
is going to be with you for a while after you have given up smoking.
|
| |
Small urges may crop up for the rest of your life,
so you are going to have to learn to deal with them. |
| |
These are just a few examples of how to change
your routine. Play little tricks on yourself to avoid situations
in which you routinely smoke. |
