From Terry Martin, your Guide to Smoking Cessation

If you get the holiday blues, you're not alone. Many of us experience unhappy emotions and associations this time of year, and those feelings may in turn trigger the urge to smoke. This week's feature article gives you tips and resources to help you manage holiday depression without losing your quit program.

Have a great week, all.


Surviving the Holiday Blues Smoke-Free
Surviving the emotional highs and lows that can come at this time of year smoke-free offers a sense of strength, accomplishment and control that will ultimately reinforce your quit program.

A Year of Firsts
I always tell folks to devote the entire first year to healing from nicotine addiction. All of it. Does that mean you'll be miserable for a whole year? No, but it does mean that it takes that long to move through the majority of the things in our daily lives that trigger thoughts of smoking.
